Midshipmen "Sink" Aircraft Carrier

Recently in a wargame conducted by Navy midshipmen on 3 patrol craft, a simulated aircraft carrier protected by a "missile cruiser" was sent to the bottom by missiles:


Ensign Jeffrey Wilcox, who developed the war game scenario during a midshipman
research project, stood on the bridge. His YP was simulating a cruiser that was striving to
protect an aircraft carrier by firing guided missiles.
ET2 Ed Fox of the Small Craft Repair Department was aboard the YP that was playing
the part of an aircraft carrier under enemy fire from Professor David Stahl's YP. Fox was
taking evasive maneuvers to try to avoid damage.

...Stahl sunk the aircraft carrier and damaged the cruiser.

On several occasions here and here I mentioned how simple it was to sink an aircraft carrier, or at least put it out of action. China has been interested in just such a scenario since Pres. Bill Clinton deployed USS Independence during the Taiwan Straits Crisis in 1996.
