Yeah not so much for it's radars, or for the f35 parked on the flight deck, which may be you know loaded with thousands of gallons of fuel and hundreds of pounds of missiles and bombs.

Sure, it won't sink it, but operations may be disrupted, for hours to days.

Days? If a laundry fire can take out a carrier for weeks, how long do you think a flight deck repair takes?

It was a laundry fire on a ballistic trajectory ;)

depending on how much you trust Trump's ramblings, he told a large audience that the "laundry fire" was actually an iranian attack last week

Depends on whether they can bullseye the laundry chute.

I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters. ;-)
