> The only role of naval ships in modern warfare is to carry attack aircraft. That's not true - naval ships are also used to launch missiles, to land marines, to sweep for mines, to fight other ships trying to do these things, etc. It's not even true that carriers only do attack. They also do fighter roles, anti-submarine, helicopter platforms, air defence platforms, etc.
