As others have posted, carriers are great for fighting Third World scum but if war ever comes against a major power the carriers will be goners within 48 hours with all the advances in submarines and cruise missile technology.
In this day and age of camouflage fighting and stealth, Aircraft carriers are concealable like a fart in the woods .. or in a cave.
Tethered drones are a perfect cheap counter to cruise missiles.
Drones are much more revolutionary than people realize.
They’re cheap ‘Kamikaze’ weapons.
