    The US is the world leader in making super carriers. Each super carrier contains 50+ years of technological evolution. The US does not want that technology to fall into other nations' hands. That is why decommed carriers are scrapped in situ by private companies. Those that they do not scrap, they sink to become artificial reefs.

    Though, they have one decommed carrier that they are planning to use as target pratice. Currently, the US has no data as to how much damage a modern carrier can take before it sinks. They are going to use current conventional (non-nuclear) weapons, anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, cruise missiles, etc. Data collected will help in better protecting the rest of their billion (or is it trillion?)-dollar carrier fleet.

    It's only a question of when ...

    The Indian Navy already has a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines under construction. It is also buying from Russia the Admiral Groshkov (non-nuclear) aircraft carrier to replace its old one. The Indigenous Aircraft Carrier, which is under construction, is also non-nuclear.
