Cloaking an entire aircraft carrier at sea? No way. Yes, the technology exists and it is coming fast.

Check out these mock-ups? Does this give you any ideas?

Aircraft Carrier for the Future, for UAVs and For JSF-Joint Strike Fighter? My thoughts are the radar system would be in the raised sides which also block wind shear for cross wind landing and make a venturi effect down the runway with cruising upwind thus the forward relative wind is greater therefore your TAS is higher but your forward speed is much lower and thus safer.

I guess the command center would be below but cameras above the side looking onto the run way for a panoramic view which would be seen from below and look like NASA's control tower simulators which would be adequate and also safer in typhoons and in case of hostile fire?

But imagine the Coast Guard with four of these in a smaller version? Directional thrust UAVs and (2-3) STOL C-130s with directional boosters on each? One in Gulf, one in Atlantic and 2 on West coast. Your boundary of advanced warning and area of engagement could be enlarge and you

Also perfect for the JSF, US Marine and US Navy Operations, also for launching squadrons of predators or other UAVs. The high sides could also be used as a projection board which simulates what is on the other side of the ship and thus make it stealth from sight like the James Bond movie car at the ice hotel. It could sit off the shore and not be seen in unsophisticated countries of strife with no radar. With energy absorbing radar materials it could become somewhat stealthy in other nations. A good idea for an aircraft carrier.

Totally cloaking an entire Aircraft Carrier. Because until you have your aircraft in the air you are totally vulnerable. This would allow you to get in closer and that gives you more range and extra flight time during sorties and with that weight savings you also can carry more ordinance to defeat evil and win against oppression.
