Aircraft carriers are sitting ducks for countries with real armies. They are an outdated technology in the age of satellites, drones, and guided missiles.
Satellites, drones, and guided missiles all rely on radio emissions for command and guidance. Every ship in the carrier group, plus many dedicated aircraft have SIGINT and ELINT roles specifically dedicated to countering such threats.
While drones and guided missiles do pose a threat to a carrier, the carrier poses a much greater threat to anyone operating such drones and missiles.
You’re actually totally correct… for a carrier on its own. But that’s why carrier groups exist to defendbthe carrier against things like guided misses and drones.

Yeah tell that to the Iron Meme system.
For the cost of one guided rocket you can throw enough cheap trash to empty the entire carrier defense systems.
