Carrier doctrine isnt as firmly rooted like the rest of warfare because any near peer conflict we've seen has relied extensively on smarter smaller weapons systems. Outside of very pricey stealth fighters/bombers, missiles and drones seem to be where the utility of warfare is bleeding towards. What good is a carrier when a smart naval mine/torpedo planted on the sea floor months beforehand can sink it before it can even react?
Yeah, seems reasonable to me. Sort of like the Spanish Armada, a bigass boat can be a double edged sword.
