Wishful thinking. Lots of unwarranted assumptions. 'Carriers can deliver more tonnage of bombs' - Yep. possibly. That's a big assumption the enemy of the day will allow those carriers to approach to within the shortish range of carrier-based bombers. Otherwise that large tonnage of bombs will just have be dropped in the sea, wasted effort. Carriers are as obsolete today as battleships were in 1941. And more so. At least a battleship had the firepower to protect itself most of the time, without having to have dozens of other ships necessary to do that. That battleships were obsolete didn't stop the US from building battleships for some time after everybody else knew they were obsolete. The same is happening with carriers.
