That's not how it works. The launching platform will never have a sufficiently precise target track to hit a carrier with an unguided weapon from any significant distance. Flight time will be at least several minutes so even a slight course deviation is enough to generate a miss. The new generation of hypersonic missiles will have some onboard sensors and ability to seek out a target, but only within narrow limits.
