I feel like nuclear powered aircraft carriers to the size of the Nimitz and Ford class are the last of their generation, and future aircraft carriers will be significantly smaller, more agile, and carry unmanned drones.

If you live in the states, you're paying for them via taxes...

I rather have a carrier that can be powered for 30 years non stop than one that needs to be refilled constantly. Think of how bad the pollution of a cruise ship is.

as far as I know carriers havent actually been used in any wars since WWII. That was the last time the US fought another naval power roughly equal to our own (Japan)

I'm fairly certain that carrier based planes have flown sorties in every war, and continue to do so to this day.
