    I mean, carriers in this modern age probably are mostly sitting ducks against any modern adversary. They could barely take on Yemen.

    If your adversary has satellites that can tell them where you are and a sufficient amount of missiles / torpedoes, there’s only so much you can do.

      This is absolutely true. Carriers are very vulnerable to advanced anti-ship missiles. But people with staunch political views have alternative truths they prefer to see propagated, so you’ve been punished.
