At the moment the discussion isn't super carrier or no carrier, it's 12 super carriers or 14 super carriers.

And I don't think anyone is questioning the force projection capabilities of a carrier when facing an enemy that lacks countermeasures, the questions are about the strategic value of a $10 billion carrier that is pretty highly susceptible to a $5 million missile.
