Can an Aircraft Carrier Survive a Nuclear Attack?

Without aircraft carriers US carrier strike groups - the quintessential tool of American power projection worldwide - lose a huge part of their offensive capability, command and control.

Because of this, adversaries of the United States have been developing a series of weapons known as "carrier killers", including nuclear weapons.

But what if a nuclear device was deployed against an aircraft carrier instead of a missile or torpedo? How would it survive?
