Concur, Ken. I've seen the demise of the carrier forecast so many times it's not even funny. Even John Keegan "predicted" that submarines would rule the seas. Hasn't happened yet, of course.

First it was the AS-6 that was going to sweep the carriers from the seas, then it was the Tu22M, then it was... You get the idea. And it always ignores the issue of:
1) Finding the carrier
2) Getting your stuff in position to shoot at the carrier
3) Getting your stuff through the screening aircraft around the carrier
4) Getting your stuff through the air defense screening ships around the carrier
5) Hitting the carrier with your stuff.
