Something better than a carrier navy?

I've always thought that Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" was one the best books depicting the differences in the to strategies. The first thing the Soviets do is step up a clever attack on the US carrier and cripple it, preventing it from interfering in its ground efforts. Meanwhile the US naval support is crippled and can not help in the Europe war effort, having to make do with what ever European forces were already in place and can now only rely on its sub forces for naval efforts.
