Probably depends entirely on the aerodynamics involved, if we’re assuming it’s approaching as an aircraft. This is kind of an intermediate range, and it has shitty ballistics, so the energy to just get it off the ground will be dwarfed.
So I did some math, and I’m assuming we need about 1/3 of LEO velocity, it would take 707 SpaceX Starship launches to throw USS Abraham Lincoln to Kremlin.
This is of course ignoring air resistance, other physics and common sense + we’re assuming spherical aircraft carrier

This is NCD, ignoring air resistance or at very minimum using wildly incorrect values is expected
Shit. So I should have gone with the “oversized hyperloop” idea and just said zero. My bad.
