You are probably right, but the battlegroups seems vulnerable to quiet subs though: https://web.archive.org/web/20071116120858/http://www.knbc.com/news/1011651

  Quiet subs are essentially mobile minefields. If the battlegroup runs over it, yeah, it's going to have a bad day. But it's unlikely to do so unless you have some chokepoint to make the battlegroup run over it. And that's the thing with the exercises where it's been useful: it's been in relatively small areas, so they can just sit and wait for the carrier to come by.
