How would US Navy stop Chinese 'carrier killer' anti-ship missiles?
Should future carriers be built smaller, faster, and less “targetable” by enemy missiles?

Should more agile, F-35-armed, faster-moving big-deck amphibious assault ships be used as mini-carriers?

Should future carriers be built smaller, faster, and less “targetable” by enemy missiles?

Perhaps future carriers will operate with massive new numbers of drone attack systems? Or maybe, despite the growing threat environment, big-deck, power-projecting, and intimidating U.S. Navy aircraft carriers are not going anywhere?

It would not be a stretch to posit that much if not all of these questions have, at least in part, been fueled by the existence of China’s DF-26B and DF-21D “carrier killer missiles.” These weapons, emerging in recent years, have framed or at least influenced ongoing debates about the future roles, missions, and planned attack envelopes of U.S. aircraft carriers.

Take so many hits they run out?

Subs take out launch sites prior to carrier groups coming into range.

"CBG" means Carrier Battle Group.

If the Chinese are serious enough to launch a "killer missile" aimed at a U.S. carrier, they're going to be serious enough to equip said missile with a tactical nuclear warhead.

Having said that, the killer missile might not even have to hit the carrier dead-on -- all it has to do is "be close enough" for the nuke to do its work...
