I tend to agree. Fewer ships with upgraded capabilities would make more sense in this age. Start retrofitting those rail guns and design a drone carrier.

More, smaller ships carrying missiles, rail guns, and lasers would complicate the enemy's plans.

Retrofitting the railguns isn’t going to happen, you’d need to rebuild the ship completely to fit the power generation systems required to fire it. Or go back to nuclear fission powered cruisers, destroyers and frigates, which we haven’t had in the inventory for a few decades now.
