Re sinking carriers, it's worth noting a single Australian Oberon class submarine "sank" a US carrier during an exercise in the late 80's early 90's (can't recall the exact year) somewhere around the Timor Sea (I think) singlehandedly. All it takes is patience and stealth followed by a single spread of torpedoes.
NO ship is invulnerable or out of reach to a determined and skilled attacker. All that can be hoped for is risk minimisation.
