It can be alleged a carrier group survived and would possibly be either in SE Asia or around Guam but nothing can be confirmed due to all manner of reasons. Also maybe it'd be permissable just to have them appear, but not be operating with Stark in any recognizable manner beyond them both fighting the same enemy. In Port Said, there's at least the luxury of everyone being "on the same side" but it's perfectly reasonable that there are several factions engaging Apocalypse's forces more or less independently. It might actually make more sense that the military(ies) are conducting operations separate from those of the various superheroes/mutants simply because of how different the two operate.<br/><br/>And yeah the nukes would be the major concern. Both in Russia and the United States. Even now they're still dispersed enough to withstand most attacks. I'm guessing the major drawback is the lack of communication. Even if they had the ability to launch from a secure silo or submarine, there's no one able to tell them clearly where they should target. Only a few people really know that, and Abigail lost her nuke option already. :(<br/><br/>So you have brave US military missile techs in Montana sitting there, twiddling their thumbs in a Missile Alert Facility, or a Ballistic Missile Submarine Commander chugging around under the ice in the Bering Sea, or Russian mobile launcher crew driving around in the middle of Siberia, ready to launch when someone trustworthy can tell them where to let the nukes fly, keeping in mind they probably are disinclined in nuking their own cities. Then again, it only takes one careless comment on Stark's juryrigged communications array to say the bad guys are in Egypt and thus provide enough motivation for one of those people to take the initiative.
