The main problem with buying a decommissioned aircraft carrier is, well, they're decommissioned. All the good stuff's either been stripped out or just left in place with no maintenance, and that includes stuff like the engines, the steering, electronics... A full refit is doable with enough handwavium, but you'd a) have to have a lot of it and b) have to have a place where you could do a year-plus refit job with nobody bugging you. Which considering US handwavium laws is not going to be the boneyard where the things are currently sitting.
Again, it's doable but it'd take a load of bread, people and time to pull off.
