Why a submarine aircraft carrier solves the wrong problem

Could the United States Navy make a modern stealth submarine aircraft carrier work?

It could launch a disposable reconnaissance drone, but a recoverable aircraft carrier would add unnecessary risk and is unlikely to be a serious programme.

The modern stealth submarine aircraft-carrier idea solves a problem the United States Navy does not have. A reconnaissance drone could be packed into a vertical-launch cell and fired as a one-use sensor. Its information could travel home and return to the submarine in a brief satellite transmission before other missiles were launched. Recovering aircraft would keep the boat dangerously close to the surface, so the elaborate carrier arrangement adds risk without a clear operational benefit.
