It's unlikely the US will actually do much more than saber rattling in the south china sea, the purchase of russian high tech anti ship cruise missiles and the chinese stealth aircraft, like the one that just flew actually, could keep the US out in a few years.
Lets not forget the issue with carriers is they are big, expensive, and have a lot of people on them, they are not something the US will throw away if the odds dont meet what the navy wants.
