    Iran doesn’t have a way to find and target a shop like that in real time. It’s a really difficult problem to solve without air superiority or space superiority, neither of which Iran has. So I’m sure they’d love to hit a carrier but they can’t really target one

      Figured it was something like that. Only thing that would suck if they did hit one or any of the other ships/subs that are nuclear powered is the nuclear contamination. Which I guess is a kind of unintended deterrent for sinking any of them for any nation that has them. Would want to fuck them up, while trying to avoid the plant in a way that also still allows them to be tugged away I guess. Though it would still get a similar impact as sinking since it removes an asset and cost so much in all logistics.
