Any war with Russia or China won't be conventional...they will nuke the Carrier and its group. Add to that, the S-400 is rumored to target and take down our stealth aircraft. Then we have S-500 which is going to be deployed next year. Virtually no country on this earth can take down a US Carrier....but if China and Russia can shoot a moth out of the sky, they can shoot an Aircraft Carrier out of the Sea. And yes, it will be nuclear, that's the deterant they are relying on...both Russia and China develop their armed forces for one, hostile attack from abroad and; two; invasion of a neighbor and/or province that turns hostile.
