The support ships have to be there - otherwise those ships wouldnt be operational - and clearly the carrier task force is operational
most likely they were left out by Frank, just like he left out the civilian ships and small patrol boats
alternatively - and as I am in the process of doing - they may be in Kenya so they would be out of range of any Soviet attack - in his notes he had several support ships for the forces there - and I am using that as a guide
he also listed several different Special Forces units who are there as part of what was deployed to CENTCOM originally but then sent to Kenya
may post some of that here to give a flavor of what may be there based on his Kenya notes
