At least one of the five Navy ships and submarines that have launched dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles at Libyan targets from positions in the Mediterranean Sea has left the area, three defense officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive military movements.
I'd guess that would include at least U.S.S. Florida being sent home.
Remember that before the Libya crisis, our 6th Fleet was a virtual fleet. The other four combatants will all move on eventually to wherever they were before the crisis. Our NATO allies have plenty of ships to handle Libya and our fleet is stretched around the globe.
