How long does a Navy aircraft carrier deploy for?

My brother is in the Navy and his nuclear power aircraft carrier is scheduled to depart in August 2009. I am trying to plan my wedding according to his deployment schedule. If he departs in August 2009, when is the latest he will be back? And if he comes back after 6 months (hypothetically) can he be shipped out in the next month due to an emergency or whatever the case may be? Should I expect a guaranteed month and year of when he'll be home? HELP! I'm really concerned that my brother may miss my wedding! Thanks in advance!|||if its a new ship they are going to do a big show boat run with it to show it of. this is mostly around the world and will be 6-9+ mo's. if its the normal schedule deployment while there to Leave in august 09 they will be doing a lot of pre cruse stuff. those are 2 weeks to 2 mos in length and they change then about the way the wind blows.but after they do get out the door and head out for where ever it will be 6-9 mo's and after he will get a chance for a few weeks of on leave.then a few mo's off then it starts all over again.





its not just a adventure,,,, its a job. the first 4 years i was married i was home for Ever major holiday but my daughters birth. Once.... |||He will be at sea 9 months of the year unless his ship goes into the yard. However long the Navy says his long cruise will be, it will be extended another month. When he gets back he will have max liberty for a while.





A month after he gets back he will go out on work ups for his next long cruise. Usually a month out, a month in.|||This is tough question... just know that there are no guarantees. When I was in, the way that it worked was atleast 9 months out, and that you came back for a while and worked up to being gone again. Tack on another month or two from when he says he will be back.|||6 months to a year they can change it in the middle of a deployment if they want to and it changes all the time|||It depends on their mission.
