The older carrier is Kitty Hawk. Does anyone know which Nimitz is going there?

According to this:

The Navy has 10 nuclear-powered carriers. The Pentagon press release did not name the nuclear carrier that would be transferred from a U.S. port to Yokosuka.

That count includes the George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) still under construction. Is it more likely to be one whose homeport is the Pacific, or does that not matter ?
