Re #1

I hear that Kittyhawk and its escort ships will conduct an exercise with Japanese Navy in East Sea. Any news on which carrier could be sailing into Yellow Sea?

YES.

Those joint exercises are open source.

They are already known publicly and in fact in the TV video clip here the Japanese narrator mentioned those USN-JMSDF joint exercises that are indeed scheduled for November.

According the screenshot in the article, it seems to show the Kitty Hawk and Japanese Navy operating in the East Sea as part of ANNUALEX 2006, and two more carriers shown in the Yellow Sea?

The Nimitz, John C. Stennis and Ronald Reagan are all in the pacific at the moment, so I'd assume if anything is going to be sailing to the Yellow Sea it will be those groups.
