I think I can. I was just down there dropping off a friend to his ship the LHA-2(USS Saipan). The carriers that are in are the Eisenhower, the Enterprise, and  at that time, the USS Abraham Lincoln. It sailed yesterday to it's new home portin San Francisco. The Iowa was also in, and the large kinda carrier-looking shipwith the big 2 on the island is the Saipan. 

Hope this helps.
