Per these NGA notices, the marine hazard warnings are canceled, so the launch is postponed indefinitely.

Has that happened for previous Starlink missions (sudden droneship turn-around)?
Sorry work has been super busy this week but I am hearing the issue is not with the rocket. I do not have anymore information than that.
I see that the thread subject has changed from Starlink Group 2-2 to Starlink Group 2-3.The same change has been made in the SpaceX Manifest Updates thread, but I don't seea post that explains the change.

Apparently it's actually 2-3. As for why it's 2-3, I'm really not sure, but it's not the first time I've been confused by SpaceX numbering.
Quote from: scr00chy on 09/14/2021 05:14 amSpaceflight Now reports "Starlink launches from Florida’s Space Coast are expected to resume as soon as October".What I'd like to know:1. Will it be called Starlink 2-2, Starlink 3-1 or something else?2. Will it be launching to 53.2° or 97.6° inclination?Is it possible for Florida Starlink launches to the 70 deg inclination? Launch last night was 2-1, and next FCC filing for SLC-4E states mission 2-3 (https://fcc.report/ELS/Space-Exploration-Technologies-Corp-SpaceX/1423-EX-ST-2021), skipping 2-2. Could they alternate launches from both coasts and complete the 70 deg shell faster? Logistically in space it makes sense for sats to be raising at the same inclination, no?

This could be the reason?

It appears GO Quest is just replacing the other ship, period. The other ship leaving already does seem to suggest there isn't a launch imminent.
GO Quest has a loooong way to go to reach its new home in Los Angeles. Should arrive around November 2nd. Don't expect that postponed Starlink launch to happen anytime soon. [October 22]
Quote from: wannamoonbase on 11/13/2021 12:55 pmCongratulations SpaceX on what appears to be a flawless flight and a return of east coast Starlink flights. The rest of the 2021 Manifest looks like it could finish strong. Hopefully there can be 1 or two more Starlink flights before 12/31<snip> Been meaning to do this for awhile but per Elon's tweet that SpaceX plans to launch 80t in Q4, that will definitely require at least a few more Starlink launches. Based on him saying that SpaceX launched 41t in Q3, I'll ballpark that as 13t for Inspiration4, 14t for CRS-23, and 14t for Starlink 2-1. In Q4, we have two launches behind us and five more confirmed missions on the manifest:QuoteCrew-3 (13t)Starlink 4-1 (15t)DART (0.7t)IXPE (0.4t)CSG-2 (2.2t)Turksat 5B (4.5t)CRS-24 (14t)Altogether, that's about 50t, leaving room for two more Starlink launches to reach Elon's 80t prediction. I'd personally guess that that means one more Starlink launch from each coast before the end of the year.
