If they want to hit a carrier they can't come at it from the side. It has to be a hypersonic top down. However if they spam it...maybe. There is a limited amount of Sea Sparrows that go Mach 3-5. They have two CWIS auto tracking vulkan cannons, and we've seen them defeated on land structures. CWIS also has a hard time tracking pure vertical.

The side route also has a battle group of missle boats and destroyers it has to get through. Every carrier has a battle group accompaniment which act as a primary line of defense for the carrier.

There is also one or two subs which can spam 128 patriot missles in lieu of nuke ICBM but those aren't really counter or defense options.

    Two USS Lincoln sailors sent back to ship after drunken brawl in notorious Thai party town

    On Thursday morning, a Thai citizen placed an emergency call reporting that two U.S. service members had gotten into a physical altercation near a town bar at 1:30 a.m., MS NOW reported, citing local police. After Thai police responded, the Americans were brought to a U.S.-Thailand joint operations center situated in the town’s Hard Rock Cafe before being transferred back to the aircraft carrier.

    Speaking to the outlet, a Thai official described the incident as “minor.” He added that the service members were drunk and that the emergency caller was worried the altercation might intensify.

    Iron breathing microbes that evolved during Snowball Earth period expelling iron nanosphere. The environment had been sealed by glaciers for at least a million years. Life like we never seen before. They had to use a transmission electron micrsoscope to see it. Which also means none of the current life seeking rovers or the Europa Clipper has these instruments. Also gives urgency to get those samples back from mars so we can study them with the big instruments.
