A little old

I was just looking at the same chart :)
I don't really know why the Kennedy is out. She had been a training carrier out of Mayport for many years, perhaps she has not had as many updates as the Kitty Hawk. It may also be to do with yard repair cycles.
I'm not too concerned about the Japanese allowing nuke carriers in. They are changing their defensive posture with the NKs and ChiComs rattling their sabers. We can use Guam for a forward deployed nuke, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Aussies offer us a homeport for one.
