17. That article is out-of-date anyways
As much as I can tell, the only carrier currently in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf is the Enterprise. The Kitty Hawk is in the eastern Indian Ocean and could support Middle Eastern operations if needed. And I have no idea where the Nimitz is, although it was in Guam a month ago.

But the other eight carrier fleets appear to be here in U.S. waters. Scarcely an ideal deployment if the U.S. was intending to go to war right away.
