Desk note: Monexus is carrying this story on a converged OSINT record, not a Navy line item, and is labelling it accordingly. The Cuba transit is plausible given the Nimitz's published decommissioning schedule and its reported routing, but the carrier's exact position and mission status remain community-asserted until a wire or naval command confirms them.
