    So you have a billion dollar aircraft carrier. How many million dollar missiles can you shoot at it before it sinks?

    For Russia’s aircraft carrier? Zero. That thing was always catching fire and had to be towed everywhere.

      And US aircraft carriers have an honestly embarrassing amount of firepower, completely disregarding the jets. There’s a reason that they haven’t been sunk by anyone other than the USN since Midway. Apparently we have sunk several carriers since WWII, one with a nuke. It survived the first nuke, but the second sunk her. Though the Independence survived both nukes.
