Why large aircraft still imply a need for carriers

Will navies continue to need aircraft carriers?

Yes, while large aerial vehicles still need a mobile place at sea to recover, rearm, refuel, and relaunch.

A carrier is a mobile logistics system whose purpose extends beyond any one aircraft type. Large aerial vehicles need somewhere at sea to recover, refuel, rearm, receive maintenance, and return to combat. Replacing a crewed aircraft with another kind of vehicle does not remove those support demands. As long as naval aviation requires that cycle beyond land-based reach, some carrier-like platform remains necessary.
