Just think about this, you can run a ship for 75 million a year(about half as much as Carrier, not including aircraft maintance, aircrew cost, and refueling of U235) that can deliver 1500 Shells on target before it has to reload and it can deliver an additional 12,000 5" shells on target.
It can deliver well over twice as much firepower on a target within it's range as all the fighters on the Aircraft Carrier can in one sorty(they only did one sorty in the second Gulf War the second one was when they landed on an Airforce base to refeul and rearm)
No modern Anti-Shipping missile can sink her because she has armor over 15 inches thick, and on top of this you would have active protection such as ESSM and SM-2 Missiles.
