The movie "The Sum of All Fears" showed very clearly how an attack could be mounted on a carrier, using the time-honored communist-bloc tactic "volume of fire".

In my Navy says, this was known, and not with a smile. The phalanx is good, but enough incoming means the carrier's systems would not get them all, and a couple hits are all you need.
