The RN losing the carriers now would be a final nail in the coffin for the service as a major player on the seas.
Instead, being an island nation, what the UK really needs is a debate on a Royal Navy Fleet Plan of 2025.
Doubt we will see it though.

In a time of European rearmament and doubts over US commitments, being an island nation, the UK should focus on the Royal Navy, which in large parts are responsible for the country's place in history, and the RAF.

Large scale continental commitments should be left for continental Europe to fill.

@The_Lookout_N: My 2 pennies on the UK defense debate and the upcoming SDR.
I'm not very hopeful but the times call for a Royal Navy Fleet Plan of 2025.

@falch_nymo: The threat to carriers isn't new. Just look at WW2 and the fate of the carriers that were in service in 1939.
They were and still are very valuable tools, that offer unique flexibility.

@falch_nymo: How Western societies and the US in particular will cope with the casualties of a high intensity war is a rather open question, agree on that.
For fighting a Pacific war they are necessary however, and highly likely why the Chinese are building them.
In such a war, some will be lost, US carriers too.

RT @vonderburchard: Breaking: Germany's CDU/CSU of Friedrich Merz agrees with Social Democrats and Greens on a gigantic new debt package for defense, infrastructure and climate
The deal paves the way for historic changes to Germany's debt brake next week amid new security challenges (Russia, Trump)

@nerfherder92177: The day of the carriers as we know rhem will probably come to an end at some point but we are not there yet. Carriers offer flexibility that land based airpower or other systems can't deliver. Especially in a possible next Pacific war, both for the US and for China.
They aren't operating on their own but as part of a much larger system.
In case of the Royal Navy's carriers, they are very useful in European scenarios featuring Russia.
As for your analogy, battleships remained useful throughout WW2 but the carrier replaced them as the primary capital ship.
