Sure if you want to fight against some African aborigines, you will use the aircraft carrier battle groups. But those are absolutely useless against even a developing country, which is able to buy the modern cruise missiles. A couple of chipass ones will easily sink down a multi-billion aircraft carrier:
The video above is a demonstration of an obsolete (not produced anymore) Soviet cruise missile SS-N-22 Sunburn made in 70s-80s of the past century and those were not even equipped with tactical nukes which is "a must" nowadays. Nobody will attack an aircraft carrier battle group like Japs in a Midway style. One tactical nuke exploded 50-100 meters above the floating circus will do the trick. Use of tactical nukes against the US air carriers is a part of Russian military doctrine.
You say that nukes will turn the attacked territory into a parking lot. That's wrong, comrade. The fallout of modern tactical nukes is extremely low, comparing to the ones uses in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How many nuclear tests were made in the Soviet Union and in the USA right near the populated places?
I've been to Las Vegas a few times and it does not look like a nuclear desert, I swear.
