USN carrier strike groups routinely deploy around the world, simply as a matter of course.
There is very little ocean area that is not covered - or can be covered relatively quickly - by a carrier.
There's nothing prodigal about a nation's warships cruising in international waters.
If you are a law-abiding country, then you really have nothing to fear and a lot to be happy about if a US CSG is in your neighborhood...especially if a tsunami or other natural or manmade disaster should befall you.
