Stardate 20011211.2304 (On Screen): USS Kittyhawk has returned to Japan.
Kittyhawk was the carrier which unloaded most of its airwing and loaded up on helicopters. There's no mention of them, but what I suspect is that now that the Marines are in Afghanistan in force, the helicopters that
Kittyhawk was carrying are now operating from land bases there and in southern Pakistan, and
Kittyhawk was no longer needed.
