Subs aren’t keepin up with a carrier at speed, the ships don’t go straight they are constantly turning and doubling back. The carrier CAP will take out the air recon planes or the guided missile destroyers Aegis systems will. A carrier is a tiny object in a vast sea. It also has jamming abilities and point defense…

Even without a nuclear response if you sink the Washington, Reagan, Kennedy, etc... Americans are going to seek massive vengeance, they better be in for a total war.
We build carriers every four to five years as they last fifty years and thus we always have enough... it wouldn’t make sense to have three all the same age.
They move quite fast, satellites are shit for constant target tracking as they don’t stay overhead, unless geostationary... which are too distant to provide the necessary resolution. Carriers are turning at forty miles per hour.
In these training ops versus foreign nations we don’t use all of our abilities and we also set up the situation to give the attacker an advantage, not saying there aren’t weak spots but the point of the exercise is to learn.
Sinking a carrier is suicide for the attacker, even if not nuclear the response would be similar to Pearl Harbor or 9/11... Americans don’t ever say hey you got us so good we’re going to quit.
One conventional missile is not going to sink a carrier, mission kill maybe.
The number of Americans killed if a carrier was sunk would cause the United States to unleash the full power of our nations fury in response. Sinking a carrier, especially one named for a president, is the stupidest thing a nation could do... it’s like Pearl Harbor, if you hit us that hard well just get angry and…
I’m starting to think this one may reveal an actual truth... by far most commented on.

I’ve got a 1990 Z32 with a 137,000 miles still going strong, the key is it’s an NA. Except for normal service/wear items the only problem has been the number 6 injector. Original brake disks, never opened engine/tranny, second clutch(it wasn’t bad I just wanted a lightweight flywheel, and its sexy.
The story wouldn’t be as interesting if not for the madness of the shitbox, if your not an automotive writer than yeah it’s stupid.
When the B/D Tomcats got the big engine they had to fix the variable ramp in place and thus it topped out at Mach 1.82, and I didn’t matter as they never went that fast anyway.
The avionics of the aardvark never really got figured out
