No surface vessel is defensible against modern anti ship missiles deployed in bulk. The Falklands War demonstrated this. Carriers have already proven themselve

Carriers have already proven themselves as valuable assets over half a century of relative peace. This is what they are to me: peace time projection platforms.
- Benjammer 10y agoI would almost tend to extend that to say that no large-scale modern terrestrial base/war machine can really stand up to modern, anti-whatever missiles. There's this idea where there are two sides in war scenarios, offense and defense, attackers and defenders, like sports or whatever. It seems to me more like modern war wouldn't be two sides playing offense and defense, it would be two parties dishing out incomprehensible destruction and one-upping each other hoping that the other gives up first.
