Yes. The latest generation hypersonic missiles will send them to a watery grave. Men will die.

There’s a lot of hype surrounding “hypersonic missiles”. But keep in mind that US tests have yet to exceed a 3 minutes of sustained flight. Scramjets are finicky beasts.

"The latest generation hypersonic missiles will send them to a watery grave." Only if not anticipated & defended against.
The alternative is, US aircraft carriers don't go where threats are too high.
Finally, an attack on a carrier is a clear act of war inviting massive retaliation, not to be committed for trivial or transient reasons.
