Yes. Military grade high resolution imaging cubesats? Not so much.

What if the sats [cube or otherwise] are already in position???
What if they are? Cubesats can be neutralized even easier than higher orbit hardened military satellites. And that's just the satellites. You can effectively kill the entire satellite constellation by killing the few satellite control ground stations. Or are they magically invulnerable?

So many questions but only one answer will becoming......
There are plenty of answers. None indicate that carriers are inherently more or less vulnerable than land airbases and none indicate that satellite constellations, even ones numbering in the thousands of individual satellites, are invulnerable.
