Air Craft Carrier Battle Groups are the back bone of the Navy...........As another poster has stated, they go out with escort ships and Attack submarines..................It is power projection and is not outdated................It allows air power to come up and personal pretty much anywhere in the world...................
Attacks on these groups have to go through the outer defenses..........The fast attacks looking for threats and the escort ships.........

It can fire 122 vertical launch missiles in a couple of minutes tracking all of the targets.....It can use another ships radar to target as well.........The phased array radar is probably the best radar on the planet for ships.
8 Harpoons.......anti ship missiles......
Can carry 2 Helo's capable of dropping Sona bouys and dipping Sona bouys for anti submarine Warfare............
To get to the carrier you've got to go through these guys....in a full spread formation they can see 2500 nautical miles with the radar.
