I think you're off to a really good start, but there's something that's important to remember. Surface ships rarely deploy by themselves. They need air cover and the Navy doesn't entirely trust the Air Force to give it to them. In light of that the first thing into the theatre would almost always be a carrier strike group, and probably an expeditionary strike group as well. The TMD ships would follow behind them. You should make a timeline and figure where stuff is deployed in the world, how long it would take to get there, and what order you think it'd be needed. From that you can figure what would actually be there in order to do what they think needs to be done at a given time. Certain stuff would probably already be there. You might start off with, say an ESG, a CSG and a few submarines. Other stuff, though, might have to come all the way from Japan or Norfolk. You can figure out all the times and distances using Google Earth.
