Hopefully the presence of such force will make its use unnecesary——but OTOH we are not dealing with sane people.
The navy posts the info on its website in slightly less accessible form.
It's a good point, but being pragmatic, with today's technology every government knows where every one else is anyway. We even can tell identify the ships by sound with sonobuoys. (subs) You have a unique voice, so does the every ship. It really is no big deal. Might even be good for them to know we can be anywhere in a short time.
Any potential opponents that might be able to take a shot at a carrier group have sufficient intel to know this info.
The major players (Russia & China) can easily observe the carriers by satellite. The only naval assets with any degree of stealth are submarines.
“is this common knowledge??”
I take it you don’t use Google Earth much.
You can see what and how many airplanes are on the deck and anybody with a computer can use it.
This is probably how they find out which officers are being frisky with the enlisted personnel.
