They haven't evolved with the times. And while no one can reject the amount of kick ass present on each American Carrier group. The problem however is that missile technology has progressed to the point where giant floating islands in the sea make great targets. And while Americans can avoid such missiles in the middle of the ocean (for now) it does create an area of denial 1000 miles from China shores. Which is handy, because the majority of the islands that hem the Chinese into the East China Sea are within that 1000 miles.
