My addendum to this: launch cheap stuff first, like drones, the force the carrier to deplete its very expensive and hard to replace anti-air missiles, then, when the anti-air missiles runs out, launch more potent stuff like missiles.
Houthies proved that a carrier is at its weakest when it is launching planes as its defenses might hit its own plane then. So, just launch missiles at that point, you damage the carrier and, as a bonus, possibly injure or kill a pilot (more expensive than the plane)
