Kind of also depends on what you mean (want?) by stealth. Could a carrier incorporate stealth technology to reduce it's radar signature? Sure, I'd image so.
Could you reduce a carrier's radar signature to that of a fly - not and make it out of any kind of metal, that's for sure.
Seems to me that even with the stealth aspects of current DDs and such, the idea is just to reduce their hard point radar returns to the point they are at least not distinguishable easily as a warship. It's not like a B-2 or F-117 where the idea is to shrink the whole radar signature down to such a small size the entire aircraft gets completely missed against the background.
'Course, I ain't no engineer, so maybe you can make a 95,000 ton metal ship disappear completely from radar?
