China has developed weapons to sink U.S. Aircraft carriers, which is a major strategic challenge.

China has developed weapons that they hope can sink U.S. Aircraft carriers.

Besides, (see section) Carriers do not operate alone.

China has developed weapons that they hope can sink U.S. Aircraft carriers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The weapon to which I am referring is a missile incoming from space -- directly vertical at speed of about 6,000 MPH (twice the muzzle velocity of high-powered rifle).

From what I have read, we hope we can defend our carriers against this.

Incidentally, this is all part of the United States Space Force initiative from POTUS. We need to take out the capability BEFORE it is in range of our carriers.
