I mean, is that not par for the course for superpowers, historically? The US just has a wider area that it can reach in that regard, due to better technology of the current era

Not sure "getting" a carrier group would be seen as a plus. Usually means you fucked around (or we think you did), and we would like to remind you that finding out is an option.
