Default the USS Eisenhower Carrier Battle Group doesn't make for a 'massive' build-up for war with Iran

I think at least 2 or 3 Carrier Strike Groups would be needed to
perform such a mission. The Navy's Fleet Response Plan calls for as
many as six CSG ready in 30 days, but for the moment being this doesn't
look to be the case...

And when the Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group departed Yokosuka on the
17th for her annual Fall WestPac cruise, here's how the _Navy Times_
headlined it:

"Kitty Hawk CSG Deploys Amid North Korea Tensions"

Not Iranian tensions ... g

The Navy is of course simply going about its everyday business.
