North Korea threatened Sunday to sink a U.S. aircraft carrier to demonstrate its military prowess as two Japanese navy ships joined a U.S. strike group for exercises in the Philippine Sea.
"Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a U.S. nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," according to North Korea's ruling Workers Party's newspaper, the Rodong Sinmum.
The paper also likened the USS Carl Vinson to a "gross animal" and said a strike on the carrier would be "an actual example to show our military's force."

If he does any such thing, the fat little tyrant will be vaporized.
Back when I was active, we trained and believed we could knock out a missle with one of our SM1 missles. I have to believe that capability has only improved since the 1970’s.
....little Kim is about a month or two from extinction. Either the Chinese or his own military is gonna bi*ch slap the creepy little snot silly.

That would be the LAST thing Kim Jong-un (and EVERYONE ELSE in North Korea) ever does.
No. . .it would be an actual example to show how you turn a nation into a big parking lot of melted glass.

It’s my understanding from reading various sources over the past few months. I thought I read somewhere these carriers are disassembled at high cost at a shipyard. They’re not sunk and used as artificial reef. The reason is because they’re remarkably difficult to sink for reasons that are classified.
Seems like an empty boast to me.
Puffed up rhetoric from a puffball. It’s hard not to feel a trifle of pity though he has it coming and how for what he did to his people.
This is not 1950 lard a**.
Yeah...it'll be the mother of all battles.../s
Well, I think I know where Baghdad Bob wound up.
Have a nephew who is about 20 yrs in the Navy and serves aboard one of these beasts. According to him, each Carrier has a surrounding task force containing several war ships including a submarine. Where the Carrier goes, the task force goes.
He also said the counter measures of these ships would be able to identify and stop any aircraft or ship before it gets with 150 miles of the task force.
He also said the ability to pick up, target and destroy incoming missiles (either above or below the surface) is as close to being 100% as today’s technology allows.
The Carriers are NOT invulnerable but they are able to launch a counter attack on who ever is attacking them before they suffer any damage because there are armed aircraft sitting on the flight deck ready to launch at moments notice when the ship is traveling under alert conditions.

FReepers have been showing their “parking lot glass” macho bravado for decades. Still waiting to see this.
So it’s ok to blow them up anyway?
Whose military force is the glorious leader referring to? NK or the USA?
Well, have at it Kim.
Lard a**, in 1950s jargon was, Cisco Kid!
Maybe we should call him, Cisco Kim?
Please do you fat little twerp. That would be an act of war and you’ll find a Tomahawk up your butt 20 minutes later!
