Yes, US military is geared for that, the fact revealed by the ammunition and supply debacle in the Ukraine war.
Carriers are used for the good old gunboat diplomacy.
And it’s not only even hypersonic missiles that are danger to them. Quite long time ago Swedish navy proven during the NATO maneuvers that competently used non-nuclear submarine can sink the carrier too. There’s also strange coincidence between Iran proving they have working supercavitating torpedoes and USN reluctance to sail the carriers into Persian Gulf. Btw NATO still don’t have such torpedoes too while USSR had them since 1977.

Don’t they cope about those torpedoes with “oh yeah well they’re unguided and therefore bad unlike glorious USN stuff”?
They are guided, idk where they get that they aren’t.
Just something I’ve read in Russian liberal press like a decade ago
Ah so the universal liberal source: their ass.
