Why US Navy Aircraft Carriers Are Impossible to Sink

US Navy aircraft carriers are almost impossible to sink. Because the Navy once tried to sink one of their own hit it with missiles, torpedoes, bombs for four straight weeks, and it would not go down. They had to board it and blow it up from the inside. That was a ship built in the 1960s. The new ones survived three explosions that registered as an earthquake and had helicopters landing on deck minutes later. Their escorts track a hundred threats at once and kill them before they get close. And if everything somehow fails, the carrier disappears. Every major power on Earth has spent billions trying to figure out how to sink one of these things. Nobody has. Here is why.
