The slower under water submarines would have a hard time searching for moving surface ships in a radius of couple hundred miles.
Satellites are very good at focusing at narrow strips of area. Searching over a wide angle of field of vision still is a hard problem.
You have to get close to the CBG to start the overwhelming campaign. The delivery platforms are likely to be destroyed long before they get close enough.
The CBG itself has a massive arsenal. It can deliver its own overwhelming firing. Besides carrying planes the carrier is a huge missile firing platform.

Not anymore, see ballistic anti ship missiles (range ~ 1800 miles), long range bombers equipped with long range missiles, and long range hypersonic missiles likely spotted on their long range bombers: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37662/chinese-long-range-ballistic-missiles-struck-moving-ship-in-south-china-sea-report https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37662/chinese-long-ran... https://twitter.com/tshugart3/status/991832711013728256/photo/1 https://twitter.com/tshugart3/status/991832711013728256/phot... https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37465/new-images-of-chinese-bomber-carrying-huge-mystery-missile-point-to-hypersonic-capability https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37465/new-images-of-ch... > The CBG itself has a massive arsenal.

That's really the end of the argument.
