American carriers can survive nuclear explosions. An FPV drone will never trouble it, apart from perhaps some surprise attack on ships in port. An FPV drone could target vulnerable systems like radars in this scenario, but it would need to be a true surprise attack for it to have any chance.

In port, or when the ship is not moving FPV drones can hit it. I agree that carriers are rugged. To really damage their ability to operate isn't easy. However, if they have aircraft on the deck those aircraft aren't so rugged. A relatively small explosion can start a very bad fire that will detonate the weapons on the other aircraft. A "lucky shot" is possible. However, armed aircraft in a friendly port are not very probable. FPVs in port can do some damage. The again, so can mortars. Definitely not a game changer.
