With modern sonar the "mini-sub" could never even get within 5 miles of a carrier.

Let's say a nuclear device were exploded underwater at some distance beneath a carrier - would the rising gas bubble be large enough to cause the carrier to founder and sink?

the other possible idea - I had heard that AQ may have gotten their hands on some north korean anti-shipping mines, not sure if there was a FR thread on it from a few weeks back.

Yep, I would suspect that an aircaft carrier is pretty hard to sneak up on.

Carriers don't have sonar. They cruise with destroyers, which do.
The destroyers have lots of other goodies. Hence the name, "Destroyers."

"With modern sonar the "mini-sub" could never even get within 5 miles of a carrier." I wouldn't bet on it.
