This makes five strike groups

USS Harry S. Truman has been in the Pacific has been ordered to stay at sea
USS Theodore Roosevelt is in the Philippines.
The last time 5 strike groups in the same water was the Iraq war that I'm aware of.

The Truman is a east coast ship. there are 2 carriers within strike distance of China. The Reagan and the Roosevelt. The LHA is a helo carrier, which travels half the speed and no fighter protection, so it doesn’t count. If they move the Truman to the Arabian sea, then I’d be concerned. I doubt they will move the Nimitz much farther than Hawaii leaving the west coast without a carrier....but with this transgender military leaders...who knows.
