During her time away, she visited 12 countries, steamed 50,000 miles and taken part in 20 patrols of the Bab-al-Mandeb strait to reassure merchant vessels and keep the sea lanes open for trade.

I'm sure WEBF's posts will fill in the any gaps -
So - as usual - you are unable to answer the rather simple question of "what mission you think the T45 is being diverted from". Instead you have to go to google data for a ship that hasn't been at sea (for a number of reasons - none of which to do with carriers) since 2017.

It's interesting that Defender did most of those tasks during CSG21, although apparently no-one remembered to order a natural disaster for her to assist with, Poor drills, I'm sure the programmers in Tracy Island will try and rectify that for CSG23, so you don't feel short changed.
