Fire 'n' Forget - Irrespective of hard and soft kill countermeasures available to a CVBG, how exactly are your tinpot dictators' submarines supposed to survive pre-emptive prosecution, let alone operate with sufficient impunity to find, correctly identify and acquire their fast-moving targets in the face of higher quality ASW frigates, MPA, helos and hunter-killer submarines?
Wild guesses do not qualify as 'guarantees'. Also, if it's that easy to work out where a carrier's 'launch box' will be, it should be even easier to work out where any slow-moving submarine is likely to be lying in ambush.
