It'll take a volley of at least 16-24 missiles to saturate the battle group defences and get 1-4 missiles through the combined anti-ballistic defence of the battle group... and I doubt 1-4 missiles will sink a carrier... perhaps cause casualties enough to horrify some americans ...but sink a nimitz class carrier ?? Nope... no chance..
AWS, the heart of Aegis, comprises the AN/SPY-1 Radar, MK 99 Fire Control System, WCS, the Command and Decision Suite, and SM-2 Standard Missile systems. The Aegis Combat System is controlled by an advanced, automatic detect-and-track, multi-function three-dimensional passive electronically scanned array radar, the AN/SPY-1. Known as "the Shield of the Fleet", the SPY high-powered (6 megawatt) radar is able to perform search, tracking, and missile guidance functions simultaneously with a track capacity of well over 100 targets at more than 100 nautical miles (190 km).[2]
Try a few more, remember the carrier groups were set up to take on well train bomber crews flying Blackjacks not out of practice pilots flying a few f-14's with poor maintenance.
You want a serious chance of getting through the defences, try 100+ you want to actually take out the carrier rather than just a picket your going to need a large well coordinated strike and a lota luck.
After which you should bend over and kiss your *** good bye because the US isnt going to play nice after some one takes out a carrier with 5000 men onboard.
