It's my understanding that the aircraft carriers purpose is to project a nations military power abroad by providing the navy with a mobile aircraft deployment platform and base of operations. While I've no doubts that technological advancements will ensure the carrier has more sophisticated vulnerabilities to anticipate and adapt to, in order for the aircraft carrier to truly become obsolete your enemy has to possess the ability to bypass engaging your overseas assets and directly strike both your military and elected leadership. Then and only then could the aircraft carrier become obsolete and that's only if military leadership doesn't develop more autonomous command of fielded assets.
