There hs been some consideration of forward deploying another US aircraft carrier to the western Pacific to join the USS Kitty Hawk there. If this occurs, it is possible that the John F. Kennedy will be considered for this role because her conventional power makes her more politically friendly to nations like Japan who may port her.

Great info.

No problem. I thought about that same issue as I was putting the site together, and that is why I amde that statement. If we have to have a second carrier in the WESTPAC area after that (meaning a nuc), it may have to be based somewhere else than Japan.
