The only two possible problems are;
The USS Wasp, IMHO it would be more likely for a Tarawa-class or even an Iwo Jima-class LPH to be committed, especially with the lack of Harriers in your air group.
The Aegis ruisers would most likely be with one of the carrier battle groups, if a missile cruiser would be assigned, it would be one of the older ones If not a missile destroyer or two.
Why? The newest cruisers tended to be assigned to carrier battle groups or independent surface action groups, even the SAGs based on battleships made do with a missile destroyer for the AAW slot. At the very least it would be one of the older missile cruiser classes. The Navy tended to place it's more modern and powerful ships to its high priority targets, like the carriers.
