At $19B price, are we builing modern day Yamato, Bismarck?
China is rapidly advancing in hypersonic missile's range and accuracy. They have purpose built carrier-killer missiles, at a fraction of a carrier price, they can swarm the defenses of the carrier group.

DF-26 intercontinental ballistic on mobile launchers, 4-5000 kilometers away.
I assume carriers would be threatening China.

Massive ICBM launch == immediate all-out nuclear counter-strike. Chinese are suicidal?

They may be costly coffins for 4000 sailors.
"We know that China has the most advanced ballistic missile force in the world," James Fanell, a retired US Navy captain and former senior intelligence officer with the US Pacific Fleet, told Reuters Thursday. "They have the capacity to overwhelm the defensive systems we are pursuing."

If anything, we should be building drone carriers. Aircraft are obsolete.
