US carriers in the Mediterranean are "sitting targets"
They are big fat sitting targets against the modern weaponry, such as anti-ship missiles and hypersonic missiles. So in this respect, they are not a real asset or rather liability against any major power... Especially Russia with its variety of hypersonic weapons of extremely long range.
So in this particular case, those aircraft carriers and their carrier battle group, which usually comprises two or three "Aegis" carrying destroyers, they are not really any more serious military asset except for their 'fear factor', that of doing some stupid thing.
They could be sunk or basically disabled, and that's pretty much it.
Тhey are only effective against nations that do not have advanced weapons such as torpedoes, hypersonic missiles, which means that they pose no threat against Russia, Iran, China and North Korea.
While the US has been building these overpriced toys for years, these countries have built a quick and cheap way to tear them down.

The issue is not who can hurl the missile to hit the aircraft carriers but will he be ready to bear the consequences...??? That's the question.
