… aircraft carriers will never get close to a coast. Carriers during the Iraq war from what I recall were “parked” in Turkey, nowhere close to Iraq. And you’re comparing the sunken Russian Moskva to a US aircraft carrier…? Far from apples to apples. Again, included in a carrier battle group are anti-air ships (and the aircraft from the carrier itself). A drone will have a hard time getting close.

The US Navy continue to produce these massive floating fortresses with another nuclear-powered carrier slated to set sail in 2024. I’m no expert in military but you’re talking about the US Navy… they’re not going to continue funding these carriers or send them around the world if they’re to go down easy. Nor will they admit or let others know what countermeasures were developed to address the weaknesses pointed out.

You also have the protection of the US Air Force, US intelligence, etc. They’re not going to sit idly if they know a threat is coming whether from land, air, or sea.

Lol you think an aircraft carrier floats on the sea by itself? Do you realize how many support and defense ships a carrier battle group has?
