The Vinson went through a full training cycle to prepare for her deployment. She spent about 6 weeks in port prior to departure and deployed on schedule. Publicly, the deployment is to the Indo-Pacific, which could be anywhere from the Western Pacific to the Red Sea. Unless world events require them elsewhere, it will probably be the North Arabian Sea/Persian Gulf area. The Ike will probably return to the Med and the Ford will return home. If the **** hits the fan (a real possibility), all bets are off.
The GW hasn’t started her pre-deployment training cycle, which takes about 6 months. They don’t currently have a scheduled deployment, at least not publicly. Force planners certainly have plans, and the crew likely knows to various levels of detail. She is scheduled to change home ports from Norfolk to Yokosuka next year. I suspect that is her next scheduled deployment.
Is the GW the next deployable carrier? Is there another that could be deployed more quickly if absolutely necessary?
