...what in AQ's arsenal could possibly get close enough to an aircraft carrier that could destroy it?

They have a history of crashing jetliners into their targets.

I know that, but how does an aircraft get close enough for a collision with an aircraft carrier and not get shot down?

an aircraft couldn't get close to it without being picked up and shot down. i'm going with the suicide mini-sub.

...and our Aegis cruisers have a history of shooting down airliners that get too close to the fleet.
