Default Aircraft Carrier and airspace?

How does a carrier operate in home waters?
Does it always sail with escort vessels?

On the open water, a carrier task force sails with picket vessels
operating at a standoff distance to intercept potential threats before
they can strike the carrier (in theory).

If you are operating over open water, is it not standard procedure to
monitor 121.5 MHz?

Obviously, one military pilot decided to put his privilege at risk. And I
suspect the military didn't bother to revoke that privilege, which is why it
kept its actions (if any) secret. It wouldn't do to publicly announce that
the pilot got off scott-free.


You may wish to investigate further before you make those kinds of
statements
