Ah a member of the many small ships crowd ? Neat idea failed in function though.
If you build 3 small CV’s (Like the America Class) you will either have to put them in a single squadron to give you some punch or 3 penny packets that have less offensive value and far less defensive value.
A CVBG is a highly flexible set of platforms that work as a combined force.
Get a good naval simulator (Harpoon) and see what a CVBG does against surface combatants or sub forces. I would like to see something like the S-3 Viking back in the fleet mabye a variant of the V-22
Actually in the modern era I think these huge floating assets are approaching obsolescence. $1 million worth of missiles can have a devastating impact. It’s not only the $13 billion it’s all the aircraft and ordinance too.
