I wouldn't really call it a shootout more dropping a 500lb bomb on someone with downs syndrome

I think the last time there was a realistic chance of an entertaining carrier battle was 2 May 1982 when the Argentian and British carrier groups were within range and actively searching for each other. Ofc the sinking of the Belgrano scrubbed that and robbed us of a climactic trading of alpha strikes between 2 elderly British made carriers (Veinticinco de Mayo and Hermes) that should have been laid up 10 years before.
