Thanks for that. I did not know that modern carriers were so tough to kill. I think I was subconsciously and wrongly conflating Battle of Midway fragility with modern weaponry.

Actually WWII carriers were very tough. We did not sink one IJN carrier at midway. All four were scuttled by torpedos fired by IJN destroyers.
