It is not quite as simple as that - to kill the carrier you have to first find the carrier, and not just with a satellite - with a weapons platform, in range, with enough weapons to get past the defenses. That is far from a simple matter.
The latest naval weapons are lasers - far faster than any anti-ship missile flying. How advanced those lasers are remains a secret - but based on what has been revealed it would be extremely difficult to hit any ship so equipped.
Asymmetrically, now the Russians have jammers that shut down ships - but they would have to bring that in first before the missile could get through. First they have to disable the lasers. Again, not as easy as it sounds... and carriers never sail alone, they bring their own air force with them.

This is stupid. Carriers serve very little purpose in MAD and any war where the soviets are attacking our carriers would go nuclear.

In light of what Putin(head honcho Russia) revealed in his speech the other day, I'd say it may be time to start sending them to Chittagong.
