Which is why the Navy only wanted more Nimitz class instead of a "mid sized" carrier."More Midways" as a shorthand for "more attack carriers the size of the Midways"
I can see the use for small carriers as convoy escorts, where an LHA CVV/CVS would make sense. I don't really see the point of attack carriers smaller than Nimitz class. Carriers are exponentially more effective the larger they get, since they basically all need the same size crew but a bigger hull gives you more aircraft for roughly the same operating costs.
