Aircraft Carriers Are Sitting Ducks

[Layzeebeaver]

33. Fair enough. But it is also important to consider the effective "defense in depth" design of a carrier group.

They would need dozens and dozens of these missiles and associated crews trained to operate them in post in a week. Also, their engagement doctrine with this type of weapon has not been established or tested (That we know of) as it would need to be carefully fitted into a wave assault.

A carrier group is specifically designed to provide defense in depth.

Technical feasible? Yes.

Organisationally feasible? I highly doubt it.

Am I saying it can't happen that a lone Iranian supersonic missile could make it through an effective carrier group defense? No.

What are the odds? Low.

Wikipedia and foreign sources of propaganda are not always reliable.

And finally I would like to add, that only an idiot would put a carrier group in direct strike range of a weapon system that could take out the carrier

And finally finally WE HAVE SUCH AN IDIOT AS CIC.
