Powerplants and endurance are just as important as weapons and weight.When modern weapons all have a serious impact to operations, there is no such thing as being able to maintain full operations after taking hits from anti-ship weapons. Even the largest ships are truly vulnerable. Modern cruisers were meant to go in and hold out largely on their own until a larger force assembles around them. And then to act as the flagship until a more capable ship arrives in relief. There are not many more capable ships these days. Destroyers are still screens for the greater fleet. Frigates are screens for logistical tonnage. While frigates and destroyers have similar capabilities, the destroyer needs fleet speed whereas frigates can move slower.
