Yes or no admiral.
First let’s see if we agree on why they are out there. And then I will answer your question.
What’s the purpose of a carrier?
And I’m talking strategic, not tactical.
Can an aircraft carrier deliver more ordinance onto a target than a battleship? No. Then why were battleships replaced by aircraft carriers? Because the new aircraft carriers’ weapons systems had a greater range, were faster and were less vulunerable than the existing weapons platform of battleships.
Same case exists today for aircraft carriers. Newer missile systems have further ranges, are faster and are less vulnerable than aircraft carriers and their aircraft. They also have less maintenance and operating costs so there’s more of them.
