Eventually sure but 100 corvettes can project power in more places at one time than 1 burke can.You'd just need to line up a largish number of corvettes. Which aren't free. I won't pin you down on SSgtC's 100 corvettes, but at some point, a largish number of corvettes will cost rather more, AND will take longer to build, than a Burke.
If a fleet has more smaller ships they can assert localized sea control forcing the fleet with fewer large ships to try and play a game of whack-a-mole to try maintain freedom of movement.
Where as the smaller fleet can swarm the the larger ship where it is if it’s in a place where sea control is absolutely critical.
