Our military budget was designed to counter an adversary that could destroy all of human civilization in 30 minutes.

The potential enemy you describe has the ability to strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up, assuming they can successfully light the fuse.
You don't fight that enemy with aircraft carriers. You fight that enemy with intel and international cooperation.
