those are ballistic missiles, can they even hit a moving target? Besides, if it comes to it, after sinking an aircraft carrier the US Congress would have no choice but a full declaration of war. That means SLBMs engaged (ie Tridents) before surrender, it would be the end of the world.

Sure, but MAD is mutual, i.e. is symmetric.

(This is why I am a fan of nuclear weapons, but it still negates the idea of a naval battle.)
