Have read elsewhere that of America’s 11 carriers, only max. 3 can be put to sea at any one time.

In a real emergency you’d certainly want to be able to put them *all* to sea. I wonder why that’s true.Lack of personnel? Lack of aircraft?

This isn’t 100% correct, as the US Enterprise is no longer commissioned.

And, so much for OPSEC, eh? I mean, if stuff like this is available with a few keystrokes from the ol’ interwebs, what is really available for those who want to actually LOOK.
