If one is running on the Carriers, does one need the Cruisers?

This alone frees up a lot of personnel until the late 70's.

If one is running on the Carriers, does one need both Audaciouses and Centaurs? Surely the desire to keep the larger means whatever the smaller deliver, which is increasingly ASW and Commando Assault, would be replaced by something more efficient in terms of personnel and running costs.....

Just like the Commando Carrier design, which actually existed as a study.


Arguably such a ship doesn't need Cruiser facilities as in ASW ops, the new ASW Frigates will coordinate. Equally when performing Commando ops in contested areas a real Carrier would attend.....


In fact wouldn't a Commando Carrier be a much better investment than Fearless and Intrepid? And cheaper than CVS?
