Default CVW-17 status

Is anybody familiar with the current composition of CVW-17? The air
wing deployed 4th April aboard GW for a 2-month SoLant deployement -
but only with two F/A-18 squadrons aboard: VFA-11 and VFA-81???

Given the press reports and released photos, yes, it would appear to be
only the two F/A-18 squardons aboard.

Total of some 30-35 planes only reported. Looks like CVW-17 picked up
S-3s also, perhaps VS-22 of CVW-3.
