Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I probably would have walked outside my house to take a gander if it had been a total thing here

I didn't bother to walk outside for whatever it was that folks here could see

I wouldn't drive a couple hours to see it.

And I drive a couple hours just to meet with a customer on a Tuesday

I did not know about this.

not a hater

just not interesting to me

kinda like the CMT awards the other night

or B1G football

Or Nebraska athletics

Carriers move fairly quickly which makes them hard to hit with a ballistic missile.

Space X can land a orbital class rocket on a moving barge.  I think you're thinking in terms of old technology, where a missile is fed a target and just let fly there in a dumb way.  I'd think that you could have a spy satellite or similar station itself over the area the carrier is in and feed it live coordinates and it would be guided in.  Or you could have human control, similar to smart bombs we've had since the 90's.  

What I'm saying is that I don't see how it would really be that hard to take out a carrier with technology that is very common today.  I know the military is worried about hypersonic missiles, but a ballistic missiles IMO would be harder to stop.

Plus, you'd have to consider a MIRV, where one rocket/BM has multiple warheads, even if they are not nuclear.  You could blanket a larger area with multiple MIRV's, and multiple BM.  Not sure well it would work in practice, and if there would be enough explosive force in a MIRV to truly damage a carrier.  We haven't really had carriers sustain battle damage since WWII, and I'd water that most of the bombs dropped by prop planes are not nearly as powerful as what modern jets/ICBM can carry. 

Whether or not the missile would be detected from the other nation, and perceived as a nuclear threat, is unclear.  Other nations launch rockets all the time, so far few have been ICBM's ( we test launch our ICBM's all the time FWIW).
