Did the USSR have the cability of sinking a US Aircraft carrier during the Cold War?

The OP specified “during the Cold War”, however, this is a 55-year time period (1945-1999)(2), and therefore too broad.

2: Standard dates are 1946-1999, but IMHO, the tensions started to be evidence at the Yalta Conference.

This is a good and interesting post, but the accepted span of the Cold War was 1945 - 1989.

Perhaps 1991, but by that date the USSR is about to vanish and the tensions between east and west were virtually gone by 1989.

45 years not 55.

You’re completely correct; I plead no contest to Misplacing a Decade.
