Oh fuck, I didn't realize the country that is practically first name in military technology and world power projection had already assessed the situation let me change my answer to a resounding YES!

Can you beat an American carrier strike force with a massive barrage of missiles?

Sure. If you can find it. Which I guess is near the coast for some reason since you are close enough with your swarm of non-blue water vessels. Then have enough missiles in the first place to get some hits through the defense screen.

As far as the Millennium Challenge war game goes there are a ton of relevant critique of Van Riper's fantasy. You can read up on them online, but things like his messenger based intelligence system sent messages instantly, etc.

Threat of missile swarm i[spoiler][/spoiler]s a real thing. In terms of small non-sea worthy PT boats not so much practicality.

no because PT boats can't teleport unlike Millennium Challenge.

Nor can 10 ton fishing boats carry 5 ton missiles.

Sure, if the carrier group can't use their weapons against the boats, the boats ignore air assets, the enemy is able to accurately detect, track, and target the carrier group with their radar off, coordinate their military through the usage of LoS communication and messengers only, and launch missiles from boats that have neither the space for missiles nor the equipment needed to guide the missiles.

depends on how many swarming PT boats
once we get into 5, 6 figures they got a real shot

What if they were Shinyo kamikaze boats?

Yey, the weekly Millennium Challenge tread <3

you can but a swarms of supersonic cruise missiles from tu-22s and tu-160s would be more of a safe bet
