Heck ya the Nimitz would have hightailed it if presented with any kind of a legitimate threat. Why do you think they surround those carriers with dozens of escort ships and subs? Get the ship out of the way and let the planes and pickett ships kill anything that tries to get close. That's the whole definition of a modern carrier task forrce. They only bring the carrier close enough to the enemy for efficent flight operations. And with mid-air refueling, that is pretty far out.
