OK: "The French aircraft carrier is in drydock in the port of Toulon for an 18-month refit and upgrade."

Actually it was intended as slightly tongue in cheek. Events however can get away from you...
I only made mention of the situation as a general reference to the likely current disposition of the USN Carrier fleet. I don't get into politics much. I always feel the need to shower afterwards...!

... and at that time I didn't know CVN-77 was sailing to WestPac, so I thought you're wrong, while in fact
there'll likely be two carriers off Korea next week!

Too politic here by always the same... with a low moderation we see the result
USN Carrier fleet
CVN 71 and no 77 Bush homeported to Norfolk, 71 in Rft ?
BTW PACAF and USMC have around 4 bases whose 2 in South Korea very close, Misawa is a little more far but with a big tanker Fleet it is not problem. Plus Bombers to Guam.
The Fighters present in the area about 200 don't need true Rfts except surely eventualy... F-22s from Elmendorf/3 FW and occasion for 1st F-35A/B war operations, i don't think a deal possible with " Rocket Man "

now found an interesting quote
Captain Jerry Kyd, commander of HMS Queen Elizabeth, commented on the initial deployment in 2021 and how difficult that will be, even with far more aircraft than are available for the carriers today:
“We are constrained by the F-35 buy rate even though that was accelerated in SDSR in 2015, so initial operating capability numbers in 2020 are going to be very modest indeed.
We will flesh it out with helicopters, and a lot depends on how many USMC F-35s come on our first deployment in 2021. But by 2023, we are committed to 24 UK jets onboard, and after that it’s too far away to say.”
