And how would you propose to win a NavAir battle in the Tainwan Strait or South China see, when this becomes necessary?
Long range land based assets.
It is not the last war but carriers did not fare well against land based assets. Air defense and damage control had better be a heck of a lot better than in the past. Even armored flight decks were no match for well placed iron bombs or torpedoes. Offensive weapons have come a long way since then.
I hope carriers are a lot more defensible than I think they are against an enemy resolved to take one out.
