Imagine the crater that thing would make if it lost power.

You could actually build this thing.

Of course you would need multiple nuclear reactors able to provide a LOT more power than a current carrier.

It would take several times as much power to lift a carrier vs pushing one in the water at 35knots.

It would need to be made of light-weight metals and composits.

It would need more than 4 fans for safety...hooked to multiple power plants, also for safety.

Redundancy would be the watchword.
