The real question is whether or not they are operational carrier groups - that means that you have ships to be able to support the carrier, fuel to be able to keep them at sea, fuel for the planes to actually be operational and not just turn over their engines, enough ammo to conduct operations, etc.
A carrier group is a lot more than just the carrier - even if both are fully operational as ships do they have enough planes to be able to really conduct operations - as in actual squadron strength and not just a couple of F-14's and Hornets
so they could be afloat and have crews - but without enough planes to actually be able to do anything - i.e. non-operational
Now there is one operational carrier group still around- and that is in the Persian Gulf and is build around a Marine carrier -thats in the RDF - and it has planes, fuel and support ships
