There are plenty of answers. None indicate that carriers are inherently more or less vulnerable than land airbases.
Does this technology apply to military grade imaging satellites?
Seed the area of operations of a carrier group?! Do you imagine these satellites can hover over an "area of operations?" Regardless of the number of satellites that are so seeded, it takes ground stations to make those satellites of any value. Are those ground stations invulnerable? Can the links to/from the satellites be jammed? Can the satellites by blinded/soft killed with a directed EMP burst?
yeah that's a great idea ken.
however bearing in mind the Russian tactical docrine in the first use of nukes, you may have inadvertently "hit the nail on the head"
