    Well, since it is basic military doctrine that you should never field a unit that you can’t afford to lose, and the billions in $ losses and thousands of sailor lives means we can’t afford to lose a carrier, this suggests that carriers are now obsolete and should be retired.

      Nah its just that they need longer ranged hypersonic missiles themselves but have been failing, so yeah China has a huge lead now.

      US just needs new missiles and new missile destroyers to join th carrier group.
