Thanks.

If Trump is aboard a carrier as CiC, wouldn’t the military “cloak” its presence from the widely available “radar” outlets.
Like they do with military fighters and VIP flights?

They won’t ‘squawk’ identifiers all the time and will go to emissions control/radio silence, and while ships now are better at passive radar reflectivity - there’s still a limit to what they can do to prevent being seen... unless they decide to jam something actively.

Plus busy shipping lanes create a need to ensure other ships can see them.

Excellent question. I wouldn't be surprised.
