I can obviously tell why you’d want a dedicated aircraft from a not, but trying to wrap my head around why you’d for example in the royal navy (UK) frigates are slightly specialised for anti submarine warfare whilst destroyers are slightly specialised for anti air warfare, why not have a single dedicated escort?.
And to mention historically, why would you have smaller ships alongside battleships (for example destroyers and torpedo boats in the battle of Jutland) when the battleships have a dedicated armament to combat destroyers?
Sorry if this seems stupid, I’m just doing my best to understand 🙂

Shit’s expensive.
You could just have aircraft carriers do everything but would you send a giant ship with 75 of the most advanced aircraft available to man just to chase down some drug smugglers?
Destroyers and smaller ships are needed for those little tasks that need to be taken care of but don’t require enough firepower to level a small country.
