I have said this before in this forum and been attacked by Navy folks saying Carriers are practically invincible.
I am afraid that these Carriers may someday become a liability.
If the Chinese have this capability I am pretty sure the Russians are not far behind.
The Carriers may go the way of the 2nd. World War Battleships.
In fact 2500 people died at Pearl Harbor , and we have almost 6,000 men on todays Carriers.
B-2’s may become the answer.Leave from the Continental US and carry the war to them.
We have been lucky since WW2 and have not fought all-out with a country with equal weapons to our own.
The defense problem with carriers lies in the inability to reload VLS systems at sea. If you can catch a battle group far enough away from port and saturate it’s defenses eventually it’s going to run out of SM-2’s, Sea Sparrows, etc. to stop incoming missiles.
