The way it always seemed to work was that one of the oldest carriers was in Yoko. The oldest being named for Chester Nimitz himself... they just might remember that name over there...

I can't imagine they'll send the Nimitz to Yoko. That would just be rubbing their noses in it, which would be wrong at all, but especially wrong after they've been such fine allies the past 55 years.
