Tomahawks are out, TASM was retired. Sub-Harpoons would the "missile" option. A salvo of Mk.48 ADCAP's detonating under the keel would do nicely.

Break her back and ruin her for any other man.

Shouldn't we reserve the title 'Carrier' until after aircraft have actually launched and landed on it?

I imagine it can carry aircraft. Past that is just mere speculation.

Question is, do Chinese built aircraft have the quality and endurance to take the stress of a carrier launch and landing?
