Only in a sneak attack scenario where they are allowed with 250 miles of a US carrier.

The US carrier will see them coming from a heck of a lot further than 250 miles, and the ship will be hit with a variety of standoff weapons.

The Soviets designed their big missile ships like the PTG to be Fire-and-forget carrier killers. They considered trading a missile cruiser for a carrier to be a good deal.
