Right. Carriers will become obsolete when the concept of obtaining air superiority over huge swaths of ocean becomes obsolete, i.e. NEVER.

That will all be done with drones in the coming years. No need for giant slow ships with flight decks and massive crews.

Drones will be sea-based on tiny stealth ships. And also lighter air-based drones that can fly perpetually.
