Except, of course, that the Twilight War is
not a full blown nuclear war.
And while some of the USN's carriers might be hit, the likely hood of
all of them being sunk is kind of ludicrous given a mid-eighties naval balance. There just wasn't enough Soviet naval strike capability available world wide. It gets much worse in a V2 world as the Soviet navy rusted.
On top of that, these are very large targets to try to destroy. And even a damaged CVN without aircraft would be extremely useful.
It's one of the major holes in any version of T2K.
