Ok, so, we lost ten carriers in WW2 and zero battleships. Granted, we don’t anticipate having an opponent like a modern IJN, but losing even a fraction of that number of our existing capital ships would be devastating.
Especially since it doesn’t take much to mission kill a carrier.
Especially since Chinese subs apparently don’t have much difficulty surfacing within torpedo-launching distance of a carrier battle group undetected. (cf: 2007 Kitty Hawk incident)
I’m just sayin’
