And they can be sunk by todays military capabilities in no time, and what is more frightening, nobody can tell where the torpedo/missile came from.

China/Iran/Isreal/Russia (i could name a more few) all have the ability to do this, maybe even undetected.

Analysis of the detonation device used will be hard for a ship sunk to 3000 feet, not sayin this is impossible.

A carrier group can only do so much in the end.

Sunk by who how and with what? everything you said is pure speculation armchair analysis. Carriers project power. end of story. If Russia had carriers and we didn't they would be on the east coast projecting-their-power.

I read a report that I wrote in 2nd grade (mid 80s) that my mom saved about carriers recently.

Analysts pointed out the same issues in 1985. The Backfire bomber was the crisis then.
