Are you saying that none of the four Japanese carriers and one American carrier sunk in Battle of Midway weren't sunk in combat? Some were scuttled during the battle, but again, there isn't much practical difference between destroyed and sunk.
There were also multiple carriers sunk by submarines. Torpedo counts as "in combat" and a few were in battles. Yorktown was crippled by bombers and then sunk by Japanese submarine. Zuikaku was quickly sunk by aircraft in Battle of Leyte Gulf. If you are talking about gunfire, HMS Glorious was sunk by Scharnhorst.
So what are you talking about? Do you mean "post-war", "with missiles", or "supercarrier"? Cause you should say that.
