China would probably prefer a method that can put a carrier out of operations without sinking it.
Would it be possible for a solid penetrator coming in from reentry speed put a carrier out of operation? What some kind of runway disabling munition?
Exactly.
Just like in infantry warfare, there are times when injuring and crippling is better than killing. For everyone injured it would take three or more men to take the injured away from battle and to tend to their injuries.
Would the battle group still sail in towards China when the potential to launch an attack deep into Chinese airspace is in doubt? It would only endanger the rest of the battle group, leaving them open to Submarine, planes, ship and land based missile attacks.
