I disagree.
There is no precedent to a nation attacking another with Nuclear Weapons just because a warship is sunk due to a conventional attack.
Sinking a carrier is good for morale, because it is a highly symbolic event that marks the end of Western Naval Dominance in the Earth's oceans since 500 years, after the Portuguese ruled the waves in Asia after they captured Malacca and took over the Spice Trade Routes in the Indian Ocean and Malacca Straits since that era till now ( 1526- 2026 AD which is 500 years of Western Naval Supremacy in a region stretching from West Asia to SE Asia ).
I still have self-esteem problems when comparing our people to Europeans, where I'm not proud being a majority ethnic group in Malaysia because our military history sucks because our Malacca Sutanate lost to white-skinned foreign navy from Europe(Portugeuese) who came from Iberia that has just chased out brown Muslims, so I want to see US NAVY be destroyed as they are the modern-day Portugal for me who I want to see their navy be destroyed as I am still bitter Malacca couldn't won the war against the Portuguese White Crusader invader scum.
For many people of color who are mad at White People for their racism and Islamphobia, like ME here, it is very necessary to see a Highly Symbolic and Visible Asset of Modern-Day Western Naval Dominance like a USN Supercarrier be sunk in a Live, Real, War(not theory or wargames anymore) so as to elevate our Morale, our Self-Esteem, and even our Self-Confidence.
The sinking of a carrier allows many people to celebrate and live in high hopes that Western Naval Dominance and White People in Wars can be defeated by Non-White and Non-European, Non-Caucasian Peoples and gives us people of color a sense of pride and prestige that we can eliminate a highly symbolic asset of Caucasian Military Dominance in warfare(sure, Black Americans exist and USA is not just Whites, but it is Whites that are the Number 1 Majority race that still runs the country there, so the US military is still considered a representative of a "Caucasian Military Dominance as most of its soldiers are white")
Therefore, sinking A USN Supercarrier is a must, a "Baptism of Fire" (for a lack of a better word), to reduce Westerners into no longer a Military Powerhouse but to turn them into Insignificants in the face of the proud BRICS Alliance.
