7 aircraft carriers = roughly 581 aircraft
7 carrier battle groups = about 42 ships, including 7 carriers, the rest a mix of aegis cruisers and destroyers, and a few ohp class frigates, maybe a spruance ddg or two as well.
that's about 1440 tomahawk cruise missles. plus another thousand or so air launched slam-er and jsow cruise missles.
not to mention the bombers we have stationed in guam or the 10-14 attack subs that undoubtly will be tagging along with their share of tomahawks.
