Errr, actually carriers don't have 16" guns, the battleships did. There
*were* smaller caliber turrents on the older (e.g. WWII Essex class)
carriers for antiaircraft work, and the newer carriers have such things
as Phalanx for the same reason, but definitely not something as big as
16". Now, sending off a flight of F-15s with laser guided weapons on the
other hand...
