If they silently keep the peace on the world’s oceans and sealanes for decades on end, are they not worth the investment, and the risk?

They are. The one thing the Navy excels at is situational awareness. If we are in a wartime situation, the carriers will simply disappear into the vast ocean and all you will see are the fighters and bombers coming at you.
