how in the world could a loss of that magnitude be kept secret in this day and age?
there'd be tens of thousands of US personnell directly involved, plus literally the entire world currently has its eyes on what's going on in the area.
idk how people act like the government isent capable of covering up awful things at mass scale. during the war the 5th most populous town in tenseness officially dident exist beacuse the people there were building components for the Manhattan project and even the people working there dident know what they were working on, hundreds of thousands of people and their immediate familys, that was in servce to build a device that killed tens of thousands, without getting into the right and wrong of bombing japan thats just objectivley true that the government WILLINGLY and highly coordinately lied to its people for extreme ends.
That being said I HIGHLY doubt its sunk but there is every chance its damaged, it just makes sense they would have treated it like a super high priority target to get and its not like our ships are inincible or have super powers they can be touched in a kinetic engagement thats just reality, now there is every chance they fought off every missle and drone sure, but it seems more likely they did either minor or mid level damage and the navy said this isent worth the PR and pulled back about 1,000 miles from their coast to be safe.
honestly us sending the carrier there in the first place was a little silly, I think it was more to send a message to the american people we were being serious without having to give away information like "we are currently moving X amount of f-35s to X base" cause thats just terrible OPSEC
but to your origninal post the US military has absurdly strict secracy demands, you think some sailor is going to be able to get on SHIP wifi and put a snap chat video out that the carrier is sunk, they would keel haul the fucker before any of the data packets made it to the data link layer, but thats just my 2 cents and I could be wrong.
Anyway did yall know the New York Stock exchange has a fucking CEO and that person is MARRIED to the Secretary of the small business admin?
what can you even say about this man, its COMIC BOOK levels of corruption
