""How well does a supercarrier handle heavy antiship weaponry?"

What 'heavy weaponry' exactly do we possess?

USN AShMs are all quite small compared to Russian equivelants, so i don't know what of value we will learn anyway.

And also, in order to get the EPA cert to perform the SINKEX, they have to take lots of the myriad flammable materials off the ship(things like, oh...10s of thousands of gallons of jet fuel for instance).

My prediction: No amount of bombs or AsHMs will sink America.

It will either have to be scuttled, or sunk with a torpedo(s).
