The Iranians dont have the capability to fire 50 of these things at once.
Not to mention, these are not carrier killers. A 400kg warhead is big, but it's not like the big AS-6 air to ground missiles that carry 1000KG or 350kt nuclear warheads. In reality you need a nuke to sink a Nimitz class carrier.

"In reality you need a nuke to sink a Nimitz class carrier."
To sink it...yes. To put it out of action...no. All you have to do is inflict enough damage that it can no longer sustain combat ops.
