The Navy was prepared and shot down what they thought was a threat, and that was 35 years ago, almost a quarter century ago the sailors were slow and the USS Cole was damaged.
It isn’t like the Navy isn’t at least as aware of the modern threats to its ships as you are.
If you read my post I naturally recognized that there will be replacements and addressed it, did you read that post?
We can all sit here and describe negative possible scenarios but what is your point? Your point seems to be weeping at the helplessness of resisting.
I read your post and I’m not disagreeing with you, what I’m doing it throwing out ideas about something that is supposedly impossible, which is to attack a US Carrier.
History has shown us, when something is considered impossible, someone else comes up with a plan that shows it’s not only possible but probable.
You sound like someone who on September 10, 2001 would have looked with disdain at anyone who would suggest, passenger planes could be hijacked and flown into 100-story buildings causing them to collapse and crashed into the pentagon.
You sound like someone who would consider it crazy to suggest on December 6, 1941 it would be possible for another country to attack with overwhelming force Pearl Harbor.
I’m sure many people inside of Israel thought it was impossible for Hamas to infiltrate Israel kill over 1000 citizens by attacking from the ground, fly gliders into Israel and land boats on the coast loaded with terrorists, they became overconfident and lazy and get really hurt.
My point is, a US Navy strike group is not invulnerable for someone who is determined, doesn’t mind losing people, equipment and attacks in unconventional ways as long as the attack is successful.
The USS Cole attack is a perfect example, the US was lazy and overconfident and got attacked by a rubber boat loaded with explosives.
My advice to you, don’t take yourself so seriously and relax and be willing to engage in out of the box discussion, instead of lecturing people.
