The carriers are eye candy, IMHO. The real question is: How many Ohio class boomers and their Brit counterparts parked in the Indian Ocean?
The boomers and other unseen Naval and Air Force assets are just part of the package.
Since Pearl Harbor, only insane rulers/despots ignore carrier task forces off their shores. The carrier task forces we have assembled near Iran make the Japanese carrier task forces on Dec 7, 1941 look very puny.
