CV-61 Ranger: Cam Ranh raid destroyed air wing, served as Pacflt training carrier in 1997 (remnants of air wing to Lincoln), in port for liberty Thanksgiving 1997 when damaged by Tsunami in SF Bay induced by TDM strikes on north bay refineries, then caught in firestorm following strikes & burned out

I don't think a carrier would pull into port unless severely damaged, especially after the Soviets aren't afraid of slinging nukes.

CVN-75 Harry Truman is destroyed while still under construction in Newport News, Va when the Norfolk area is struck by a SS-24 during the TDM

The Truman was launched in 1996 as once the US gets its war on, she could easily be outfitted and ready to fight during the war
The Reagan could be destroyed in dock. Her keel was laid in 1998, but with the war, it could have been laid sooner. It is possible the Reagan could be launched before the TDM.
