Because they’re engineered to take this. If all of the watertight doors and hatches are secured, it’s incredibly difficult to sink a warship.

I’ve sailed across the Atlantic three times on an aircraft carrier. You just make sure everything is tied down and go. The planes have chains that hold them on the flight deck, and during rough seas they get even more chains.
