Not very careful with the details eh?
Carrier funding applies to the US Navy, which is not covered by the 2-year restriction, and which Congress is explicitly authorized to maintain as a standing force.
It would help your argument if the military was completely seperate from each other. As shown in Iraq, sailors have become part of the standing army.
But here's a good example.

Multi-year contract funding for tanks. Can't do that. But we do. And no one complains how we violate COTUS.
