I wonder why we haven't shifted to having more, smaller aircraft carriers with only a few planes per boat, with planes that take off vertically, and, therefore, don't need long runways.

Think of a swarm of small carriers with planes (or drones) instead of a few large ones.

Missiles, rockets and drones. The wave of the future. Unmanned shipping vessels with a multitude of drones of various sizes. Same for the high speed rockets. No need for co-ed carriers!!
