3 out of 5 - percentage looks accurate.

You messed one up, missed one entirely, and misrepresent the reason one of the 3 "deployed" is heading out.

1. Nimitz is not in the Persian Gulf, she is in home-port in Washington state.
2. Ike is in the Persian Gulf.
3. Stennis is heading to the Gulf to replace Enterprise, which will immediately head home for her decommissioning ceremony, to be held on 01 December 2012!

Therefore, there are only 2 of 5 (40%) actually in the Middle East area of operations. and that is how many will be there for the next couple of months!

Deployed:
CVN-69 Dwight D. Eisenhower 04Sep-11Sep2012, Persian Gulf

Not Deployed:
CVN-68 Nimitz: 20Aug2012, returned to Everett, WA.
