Carriers are a relic that have very little to do with modern warfighting.

Except they've been used in most every modern war / police engagement / embargo. Only the most land locked areas or conflicts were neither side (not any interested allies) had a carrier.

That would come as a real surprise to all the people in Afghanistan and Iraq who have been attacked by Carrier Strike Groups in recent years.

What in the world do you mean by "modern warfighting"?
