The US Carrier fleet overworked, struggles to maintain deployments. No margin left.
From the United States Naval Institute;
The East Coast has just one deployable carrier for the next year.
Due to maintenance logjams and the years-late entry of Ford to the fleet, U.S. Fleet Forces Command will only have USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) ā the second oldest carrier in the fleet at 43 years old, with a history of maintenance challenges ā to meet any operational requirements that arise. Fresh off a deployment with 200 days at sea without a port call due to the coronavirus pandemic, Eisenhower is slated to deploy again early next year, two defense officials confirmed to USNI News. No other carriers will be available to deploy from Virginia until at least the second half of 2021.
