I have been thinking for a while how to take a U.S. Fleet out its common sense realy all you have to is wait until the ships run out of out of anti air/ missiles then there is bugger all to stop you sending them to the bottom, It's like peeling an onion peel the outer layer first then start again first ship to go for would be the replenishment ones planes can't fly with no fuel no refill of missle tubes no anti air.
I would get one used out of date supper tanker and just load it with cheap bog standard anti ship/ air missiles and press fire a bit like the proposed arsenal ship.
Carriers are easy to take out just rebuild the bukanear it always got past American fleet air defence lol.
I wonder if the USN has thought of this?
I do supect suspect that technology has advanced since the last time a Buccaneer penetrated a Carrier battle groups defences
Phalanx and 40 years of Missile and radar development + CIWS > Buccaneer development over that time (of which there hasn't been any!)
Good plane though
As for attritioning a CBGs stock of ship to air missiles - the first layer would be the air wing - and then thats a lot of AA Missiles.
A good couple of Hundred at least
And then their is the small matter of what it is you are using to attrite them
Lets hope that doesn't run out first!
As for your munition ship idea - AA missiles needs Radar and on modern DDGs and CCGs the radar system is often the most expensive part.
With out radar modern missiles are largely unguided expensive rockets
