Well, it aint horseshoes, and close gets no points.

200 yards is too damn close when the target costs several billion dollars.

The lead might have been "US blows the crap out of Hezbollah after suffering an attack on a Carrier".

Try "Multi-billion Dollar Carrier Put Out of Action by One Shot from Goat-Herding Hezbullah Freedom Fighter."

One artillary shot is NOT going to take out a carrier, even if it were to set off some munitions. This aint the 60s.

Very unlikely. Those things are designed to take hits from Soviet Cruise missiles with several hundred pound warheads. Worst case would be probably be knocking one of the catapults out of action. But they have four. So one is down for a bit. Some earlier, smaller carriers only had two.

Kind of like shooting a drugged up Hells Angel with a .22 derringer. You'd have to get darn lucky, else you'd get the ever living snot beaten out of you.
