What’s craziest to me is that the largest boat (or at least among) in the world is also one of the fastest. That’s a crazy amount of power

[@Roonasaur]

Simple physics. Nothing this big will ever "get up on plane" like ski boats do. Any boat or ship trying to go fast forms both a bow wave and a stern wave. As the ship speeds up, these waves increase in length until they match and merge with each other. Then, basically, the boat is riding in the valley between these waves, and to go any faster means they have to climb up hill over that bow wave, but they can't . . . and so, because larger ships make bigger, longer-wavelength waves, and longer-wavelength waves travel faster . . . longer ships can travel faster than shorter ones.

I think the issue is whether you can make the flight deck unusable. A carrier which can't launch or land planes may be unsinkable but it is also unusable. I wouldn't try to sink it but try to drop mines on the deck via modified cluster munition delivery vehicles and make deck operations dangerous to the planes.

[@admusic247]

You make good point but, based on my limited knowledge the flight deck is for jets, which engage in targets that are hundreds of miles away. So the point is you wouldny be able to even get that close. If you're closer enough to damage the flight deck then the flight deck is already unusable. They're are a ton of other components that are meant to defender closer, not to mention the carrier is also accompanied by a fleet of ships who have much better close range combat. Also, the carrier would still be a very vital information hub for said ships

I have no doubt a carrier is super hard to sink. I think the bigger fear in an actual war is just them getting damaged enough that they'd be out of commission and need repairs. Especially in the Pacific against China, where we rely heavily on carriers to project air and naval power. An all out attack against the carriers right away could be enough to put a giant portion of our capabilities out of the battle. It's definitely still very worrying.

Exactly. I never see this part of the argument addressed. Just having the ships have to slink back to a shipyard for repairs would be disastrous in the event of a war outbreak against a peer opponent like China, especially with the distances involved and the fact that the US military is really built purely for delivering a quick, decisive victory. Take the carriers out of the equation early on and the US is put on the backfoot heavily, possibly even irreparably.

As someone who served upon a carrier I can say one thing for sure. One does not need to sink a carrier you either keep it out of the theater of engagement or you just need to disrupt flight operations. It is much easier for peer nation powers to field long range land based stand off or ballistic weapons to keep a carrier out of striking range. Using land base bombers with stand off weapons is effective as well. The two important things to remember is a carrier task force only has so many missles and close in weapons systems to protect the carrier and as carrier is only as good as the combat range of the strike aircraft it carries. That is why the navy is trying to develop longer range aircraft and stand off weapons. In an engagement say with China over Taiwan in order for the U.S. carriers to operate near the Chinese mainland we would most likely need to have the airforce use stealth bombers to take out Chinese air bases and land based shore to ship weapons but that would be no easy task.

Sorry, this exercise went on for 2 yrs, and the Gotland was sunk several times too. This was 14 yrs ago, and the USN knew it had been neglecting it's it's ASW defenses. That's why the Gotland was contracted. For training improvements.
