Wow! My presumptions shattered! Thanks for the lesson Krog but don't carriers also have anti-submarine warfare capabilities?

in the form of Anti-submarine helicopters and surface/sub-surface escorts!

Many aircraft carriers have wonderful defense systems which are guided by the computers of the entire fleet which are working in a single network and there are also anti-submarine defense systems excluding the escorts.

Missiles

The more recently built carriers are armed with three Raytheon GMLS mk29 eight-cell launchers for Nato Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missiles. Sea Sparrow has a range of 14.5km and semi-active radar terminal guidance.
"The flight deck measures
333m x 77m and is equipped with four lifts."

The carriers are also fitted with the Raytheon RAM (rolling airframe missile) system, which provides short-range defence against incoming anti-ship missiles including sea-skimming missiles.

USS Stennis was fitted with RAM in 2005 and began firing trials of the system in June 2006. One Sea Sparrow mount and one Phalanx CIWS mount were removed to fit the RAM.

USS John C Stennis was the first carrier to fire the evolved Sea Sparrow missile (ESSM) in October 2008.

Guns

There are four Raytheon / General Dynamics 20mm Phalanx six-barrelled Mk 15 close-in weapon systems which have a firing rate of 3,000 rounds/min and a range of 1.5km.

Countermeasures

Decoys include four Sippican SRBOC (super rapid bloom off-board chaff) six-barrelled mk36 decoy launchers, which deploy infrared flares and chaff, SSTDS torpedo defence system and AN/SLQ-25 Nixie torpedo countermeasures system, from Argon ST of Fairfax, Virginia.

The Raytheon AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare system detects hostile radar emissions by two sets of antennae and the system analyses the pulse repetition rate, the scan mode, the scan period, and the frequency. The system identifies the threat and direction, provides a warning signal and interfaces to the ship's countermeasures systems.

Combat systems

The carriers' combat data systems are based around the block 0 or 1 naval tactical and advanced combat direction system (ACDS) with communications links 4A, 11, 14, and 16. Weapons control is managed by three mk91 mod 1 MFCS directors for the Sea Sparrow missile.

USS Nimitz, USS Ronald Reagan and USS John Stennis have been fitted with the SSDS mk2 mod 0 ship self-defence system, developed by Raytheon. The SSDS will provide automated self-defence against anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) by integrating and coordinating the ship's weapon and electronic warfare systems.
"The Raytheon AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare system detects hostile radar emissions by two sets of antennae."

USS Nimitz has also been fitted with the Lockheed Martin TIS (tactical input segment) digital reconnaissance processing system, which can receive real-time imagery from airborne sensors.

Sensors

Air search radars include the ITT SPS-48E 3-D, operating at E/F-band; Raytheon SPS49(V)5, C/D-band; and Raytheon mk23 TAS, D-band. Surface search radar is the Northrop Grumman Norden Systems SPS-67V, operating at G-band.

Ovelia, that was seriously disturbing.

Something Gunnell needed. As "disturbing" as I will go in this. He earned it.

Ovelia, that was seriously disturbing.

It could have been worse.

Although, I'm sure that's about as bad as it's going to get on these forums. Well played.

Oh it could have been far, far worse but that doesn't make this something that isn't disturbing
