With the advent of missile carrying drones, which are virtually undetectable, land to sea missiles which allow about 2.5 seconds to react to, American carriers in any war with Iran are just sitting ducks as is laid out in this article!!!
This is why I cannot understand the UK ordering two brand new ones, with no planes! These enormous ships take ages to change course. Sure they have a cover of destroyers, cruisers,planes and helicopters to fire off cruise missiles at land targets but all of this cover is completely useless against 6 armed drones, flying at 40,000 feet, which are invisible!!! Then there are the rubber boats, which don't show up on radar, making them ideal for night fighting placing charges onto hulls of ships.
Iran is too big a country to be worried about salvos of cruise missiles hitting some, but certainly not all targets. Any B2 bombers leaving Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean will take some hours to reach Iran and I am sure that they have a submarine in the area to watch for departures.
America will not got to war with Iran, but I do feel that they will hang Israel out to dry, by selling them the dummy to go ahead, in the same manner, as they did to Sadam over Kuwait.
