As the Gerald Ford rolled off late last year I came to a conclusion that a single hypersonic missile that costs maybe $300MM could wipe it out in hours. Even with all the limitations and physical restrictions of hypersonic weapons there are workarounds. Navy is pretty 2 dimensional and slow: I imagine the navel defense idea might be gone by 2075 but hey we all might be gone by then.
