US Naval vessels are still screened when moving. But all of those WWII vessels were used up during the Vietnam era, and have since been replaced by sophisticated computers which have enhanced aircraft/submarine/missile defenses.

Stated another way, US naval vessels aren't crossing oceans the way you see them on old WWII television films; a convoy ringed by destroyers (although it can still be done). 21st century naval vessels still cross oceans, but with the technology mentioned in the first paragraph. The ships move, and are monitored the whole way...if and when trouble erupts, that technology is activated.
