I think they stopped back in the late 90's when carriers quit carrying nuclear weapons.
This shouldn't have been the excuse for it.

I've there was talk of bringing them back. The Corps will disappear if they don't get back to their Naval roots.
I hope so. Hopefully this incident will make the "politicians" at the pentagon think long and hard about this.

Marines are carried on aircraft carriers. Just not the ones you're thinking of.
LHD class is what marines ride on.

Yeah, but actual CVN carriers used to carry a platoon of infantry Marines on board.
I was actually assigned to the USS Eisenhower while she was in dry dock getting refueled. But they no longer carry Marines while at sea. Although they should. As well as most surface combatants IMO

"Last Seagoing Detachment Stands Down"
"Friday, May 1 1998, marked a historic day for the Navy/Marine Corps team. The Navy's last Marine Detachment (MarDet) aboard an aircraft carrier bid farewell to the ship that had been its home since 1993.
In a ceremony held in Hangar Bay Two on board USS George Washington (CVN-73), Captain Lindell G. Rutherford, the ship's commanding officer, called it "the end of an era in Marine Corps history."
"It's been a great piece of history between Mar Det and these, the Navy's capital ships," Rutherford said. "We cannot allow [MarDet] to just walk down the brow without celebrating what has truly been a great marriage between sailors and Marines on board aircraft carriers."
During the ceremony, First Lieutenant Grant Goodrich, GW's Marine Detachment commanding officer, took the opportunity to reflect on the traditional relationship between the two services. "[Marines] have served as riflemen, as gunners... soldiers on ships," Goodrich said. "Today marks a sad day as that traditional relationship changes, but Marine security forces will continue to serve elsewhere in the Navy community. This has been, is now and will always be our job."

Outmatched by the Pakistani Navy? 
They would've had worse results had the Americans actually been there.

Aircraft Carriers don't carry a MARDET anymore.
