Keep in mind too how much warning the Navy would get on any nuke attack - they would be balls to the wall as soon as they knew of any nuclear missile on approach, changing course to present the minimal aspect possible so any sea surge would not hit the hull broadside but instead be in the same direction the ship was traveling, etc...
not the same with a nuclear torpedo of course - you dont find out there that its a nuke till its way too late to do much of anything about it
I dont see any single warhead, no matter how large, bagging a carrier with any real certainty enough for the Soviets to say they got her for sure - now multiple nukes saturating the area spaced out to hit a wide area - that would do the trick
