I want what you're smoking.
Sinking a Carrier would ENSURE the elimination of the Iranian regime and the seizure of all their real assets.
Are you all so unaware of US Military Doctrine as to not know this?

PRESIDENT OBAMA = Commander-in-chief of the United States Military forces... all of them.
Really?
Are you so unaware of who the president is that you need to ask me about military doctrine?
Was this doctrine in place during the first months GWB’s first term when PRC pilot Wang Wei made three close passes in his J-8 jet fighter to the prop driven P3 Orion, resulting in a collision on the third pass?
The J-8 broke in two and the impact forced the P3 to land on Hainan Island. It was held captive while PRC PLA examined and stripped the sensitive and highly classified spy gear on board.
GWB, as CINC, showed a masterful display of the “patient inertion doctrine” until the PRC had gathered all they could and having milked the press magnanimously released the unharmed 23 airmen without pressing charges. The deft CINC then sent a letter of condolence to the widow of Air Bandit Wang Wei, who had achieved his objective albeit fatally inept for the task at hand.
That the doctrine you’re thinking of?
Of course, The Won would provide a truly world class performance of groveling before the insane mullah regime while whispering, “inshallah” to their shoes.
I am quite sure this has changed to a more pacifist position in the past couple of years. We no longer know what the true "Military Doctrine" is right now, which is fueling the speculation on the part of other posters on this thread.
This uncertainty and speculation is also driving the apparently insane activities on the part of the Iranians and other bad actors.
