> I'm not saying this isn't possible, but right now you'd have to fly an enemy drone or plane near the carrier group to get any targetting information and that

  My understanding is that its too slow and not accurate enough for pinpoint tracking of targets, assuming you can even find the carrier group in the vast ocean. This is why the military uses spotting planes, drones, gps, and laser instead of just shooting down coords via satellites. Also, in wartime there will probably be decoys and other counter-measures that might be hard to differentiate from satellite resolution. You would want accurate tracking for your $50-100m launch that may or may not start WWIII.

    > My understanding is that its too slow and not accurate enough for pinpoint tracking of targets (...) I find these two assertions very surpsising. Which part of the process do you expect to be slow and what do you mean by slow? Why do you expect accuracy much smaller than the size of a pixel in an image?
