1) The initial attack uses very slow sub-sonic weapons against an undefended stationary target.

5) As to disabling an actively defended war ship... doubtful.

6) As to sinking said ship... maybe after about 50 hits.

Carries are NOT different from Battleships. The Carrier Boys think so, but they suffer from the exact same vulnerabilities as the Battleship did.

Its an interesting play but its laughable to think that they could get anywhere near a carrier on open water.
