Our carriers are protected with a shield of defense ships protecting it. That's why's its a carrier group. It's not possible to just attack the carrier. You have to first take out many other ships first. I don't think it's possible unless it's attacked from inside. Which I doubt would happen but who knows.
That's a very good point.
Just attacking the carrier would be as unlikely to succeed as that Hamas incursion was.
ie. it would have to be allowed to happen.
Our defense ships have no defense against hypersonic missiles.
That's not true at all. Between subs and satellite weapons, carriers are an obsolete form of warfare. Heck, during the Obama admin a US wargame (with South Korea) had a Chinese sub surface right in the middle of the wargame without detection. Carriers in today's age are just floating coffins.
The Israel attack by Hamas had all the internal collusion that allowed it to happen. The 911 demolitions had all the internal collusion that allowed it to happen, etc.
I've been saying, back since those stories about years and years of expensive but cheap faulty metal knowingly being used in ship and other mil construction, that these are now designed to fail. That one or more would be set up to fail catastrophically at an appropriate time.
