Technically the Carrier can't defend itself, it has to rely on it's fighters...
But if you discount the fighters then you pretty much negate the carrier itself so I guess the point is moot.
I'd agree that a military ship that can't defend itself is illogical.

a nice example on the fate of a single ship sortie would be the sinking of the argentian cruiser during the falkland war
the spurence will most likely be the flage ship of a task force where its sam will be most useful but other ship will have to supply the ssm and the asw conponent

OK, my reasons for South Korea to have the best Navy!
-The induction and indigenous production of the Ge-214
-New AEGIS destroyers coming soon
-Advanced American weapons systems on their ships
-The KDX-III!
-Very good littoral fleet
-F-15Ks can have Harpoons fitted on them
-Good ASW capabilities
-Induction of an LPD soon

My obinion about best asian navy, should be some sort of tie between japan, china and india. Of these its pretty hard to rank them, couse it depends on lot what part you want to embhasis. China has nuclear submarines, a key feature of world class navy and when the 094 class is fielded, an ocean going nuclear deterence that buts china finally on par whit US, Russia, UK and france. India has carrier and good tradition of using them as well as secured future to operate them. Japan in other hand has well balnced conventional escort force with out any strategic reaches, thougth climpses of acuiring one.
Wheter Russia is to considered as Asian nation, remains more of political question. Nevertheless Russian's sole elements still keeping it at the top of the naval legue arent based on Asia, but in Europe. USN have strong precence in Asia, but isent asian nation
south Korea has single LPH, few licence build german diesel subs and upcoming Aegis ships....Its rather silly to but it above India or China as its large surface combatant count doesent reach over ten at this moment.

South Korea is to have about 12 modern submarines, which means 9 Ge-209s and 3 Ge-214 with more orders in the future. F-15Ks armed with Harpoons can be very dangerous, especially since the F-15K is the third best fighter in the world behind the F-22 and Rafale. A single LPH can do wonders in ASW, and South Korea hols 24 ASW corvettes. Those 6 KDX-IIs can probably take on the Chinese Type-52s and New Dehli Class Destroyers, and I'm pretty sure 9 Ulsans and 3 KDX-Is can take on a lot of the Chinese and Indian Navy. And don't count out their littoral fleet.

Korean aegis is a reduced version of the japan has I wodent put them in the same league as the 052c and kogo
funny you mention thatt korea has copies of german subs
I suggest that you read sino defence on info about chinas subs
you also fail to mention the 052d china is building and the frigates that china and india have right now
END NOTE korea has the tech to do so but can not for other reasons

Not copies. They have a liscensed production! And gee, the KDX-III is going to be a stealth destroyer! India is getting the Talwar, woohoo! That's definitely going to destroy the KDX-III which has AEGIS and VLS! And of course the Shivalik is going to destroy the FFX! :roll:
