Granit and Sunburns are dedicated carrier killers.
Also, it is important to take into account the fact that an Carrier is hard to defend against a mission kill: Destroyed elevators, catapults, or a hole in the deck result in no flight ops.

It's been awhile since I perused a 12-5, but IIRC, Sunburn was primarily an AEGIS killer, and far less effective today than it was in 1998. While the Shipwreck is a dedicated heavy hitter, the last threat profiles I saw depicted it as easy pickin's for SM2's...
