The US had 7 carriers.. 4 were stationed on the East Coast (Ranger, Yorktown, Hornet, and Wasp) and 3 carriers were assigned to the Pacific Fleet:

1) Enterprise should have been at PH on Dec 7... It left Pearl Harbor on November 28 with an escort of 3 heavy cruisers and 9 destroyers on a mission to transport Marine Corps F4F-3 Wildcat fighters to Wake Island. It completed the mission on December 4 and was heading back to Pearl with an expected return date of December 6 but was delayed by poor weather. It was 215 miles west of Pearl Harbor on December 7 (and participated in the defense of PH)

2) Lexington was taking aircraft to an American base in the Pacific. The carrier and its escort of three heavy cruisers and five destroyers had left for Midway on December 5 to deliver 18 Marine Corps SB2U Vindicator dive bombers.

3) Saratoga was in San Diego on the day of the attack, having just arrived from Puget Sound Navy Yard, where it underwent an eight-month refit.
