#1 Update: "Either the USS Abraham Lincoln or the USS Kitty Hawk battle group would be sent from the Pacific fleets. The Abraham Lincoln is in Perth, Australia, having just left the Persian Gulf region. The Kitty Hawk is in port in Japan."

#3 Sorry - I see you already have the hospital ship story below, with lots of other deployment details. Still, I think it's interesting...

#4 Here in San Diego, my office window looks out to North Island and down the bay to the 32nd st Pac Fleet wharfs.....it's never been so empty. Only one carrier out of 3 is in port, there's been a couple ships going in/out daily...
