Where's the Washington?

Where's the George Washington battlegroup? It was due in Norfolk yesterday yet the carrier's homecoming page only says that it is coming home soon.

I only ask because I fully expect the carrier to be racing for deployment in the eastern Mediterranean for the war. Globalsecurity.org says more brigade sets are in the Gulf than they thought before. And the red herrings are loading heavy armor for three heavy divisions in CONUS ports. I've seen this movement as the sign war is near and they are loading. That stuff won't be used and given the equipment that is out there in the Gulf I am shocked nobody has noticed we don't need that armor.

Oh, and elements of the 101st Airborne are reported in Djibouti.

Could the airstrikes start sooner than the 27th?
