True enough, but it is the sub-surface assets shadowing the carrier groups that provide the true layered defense. For now.

we need carriers to project strength but the reality of a carrier is all it is , is a Mobil airfield. a carrier is a high valued target easy to take out. we need the carrier but we also need the support fleet that goes with it.
