Nah those things are like almost impossible to sink. I forget which carrier is was but it was decommissioned and done was to use it for treasury practice to sink it. After a full bombardment it was still floating, they had to go on and cut it up or something to actually sink it. Point being the carrier might get damaged or attacked but it won't be sunk that I assure you
That was the USS America CV-66. They spent days using it as target practice then had to set charges to actually sink it. At the 2011 ships reunion they told us that data from the sinking was partially used designing the armor for the new USS America LHA-6 among others.
Thanks fren for bolstering my point
Like a Boston Whaler cut in half with a chainsaw...
