Does Syria have any weapons that can take out a ship?

Yes. The Chinese - out good friends and trading buddies to whom we absolutely must continue sending our manufacturing capability and jobs - sold Iran and Syra some Silkworm missiles. They don't have as much range as current Chinese fare, but they Syrians aren't playing in the wide expanse of the Pacific and absolutely are capable of taking out a carrier.

Thanks.

So, let’s say that the Syrian Government did use gas - using a missile to hit a carrier or Israel would not be out of the question.

This is a huge can of worms, plus who knows how many we will kill initially in return for the use of gas - seems like a more than passingly strange way to go.
