@Sudhanshu I agree missiles are useful..But now with pak,india and china all having nukes, the possibility of a full fledged war is remote. But imagine there is a stand off on a issue or some adventure like kargil..But remember missiles can still be neutralized..But an aircraft carrier is very tough to neutralize. So is the aircraft carriers which can really stop any misadventures.. if say gorskov is in arabian sea then pakistan will thing twice before starting any new drama.
