I take it your kid is not on board.

If a silkworm were to hit a CV, there will be casualties,
including horrible burns.

One should be careful what one wishes for..

On March 19, 1945, the carrier Franklin was off the coast of Japan when a scout plane (Possibly an Aichi B7A "Grace") swooped low over the flight deck and dropped two 550-pound bombs, catching the carrier with her flight and hangar decks full of armed and fueled aircraft. The resulting fire and explosions damaged the carrier so severely that she never returned to active service, killed 807 men, and wounded 487 others.
