Not a carrier, but a Seawolf-class attack submarine (SSN-23).

DDG,

General Dynamics Electric Boat moves the third and final
Seawolf-class Nuclear Attack Submarine, Jimmy Carter (SSN-23),

http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/080023.htm

- The new submarine honors the 39th president of the United
States who is the only submarine-qualified man who went on
to become the nation's chief executive.

- Differentiating the Jimmy Carter from all other undersea
vessels is her Multi-Mission Platform (MMP), which includes a
100-foot hull extension that enhances payload capability,
enabling it to accommodate advanced technology required to
develop and test an entirely new generation of weapons, sensors
and undersea vehicles. Jimmy Carter (SSN23) Modification

They are Huge..

Read a story about two DIvers who were paid to go down deep;
then photograph these things as they went by at +50 MPH
The'd be in place & have times synchronised; camera on automatic
see a shadow flash by
then get hurled about and all over the place by the turbulence;

- Didn't talk about anyone getting killed so I guess it's just real hard work
