Super carriers are still useful even if they become increasing vulnerable. Most US military conflict is with developing countries who lack access to cutting edge weapons
But their vulnerability is overstated imo. It's easy to build a missile that can physically get through an AEGIS defense. It's hard to accurately target ships during a time of war. Over the horizon targeting is tough. The US would destroy or jam satallite.
If the US were dumb enough to put a carrier in the middle of the Taiwan straight during a shooting war, then it will at a minimum be disabled. But 200 miles off shore?
