Yeah i get that its not just the carrier on its own its just that its such a massive warmachine with an infinte cost and easy to track compared to subs. I obv have no idea about these things just strikes me that it would be worth it to launch an attack even knowing you may loose a sub or 2.
Its like sinking a city. Saw a sum of close to 17 billion USD for the cost of one and im not even sure that includes the planes and weapons it carries.
Perhaps moving it in a convey is enough to keep it safe it just seems like the nature of oceans and the sneakiness of modern subs would make it vunerable.

An aircraft carrier will be accompanied by its own subs and destroyers for that reason.
