Isnt the size of that superstructure contrary to stealthy design, hence allowing detection from a much larger range by attacking A/C? IE if the enemy are in range, then so are you.
Nobody's air defense ship is stealthy when its main radar is transmitting.
The basic idea is to try to shoot down the incoming attackers, and, if you can't get 'em all, act as a great big radar decoy, take all the hits, and thereby spare the carrier(s).
