Let us trust and pray that we will not one day in some Orwellian scenario awake to learn that U.S. Navy battle carriers have been sunk by enemy missiles. They are floating targets, detroyer escorts be damned.

Wouldn’t be the first carrier sunk. War is risky. China would quickly find how risky if they ever sink one of ours.

"....awake to learn that U.S. Navy battle carriers have been sunk by enemy missiles."
I think it's an unspoken (but globally assumed) caveat that the sinking of an American carrier will garner a nuclear response.
