Peacekeepers of Sol gives the carrier a fleet

Peacekeepers of Sol gives carriers, battlecruisers, and destroyers distinct jobs. The carrier remains behind the battle line as the command backbone of the force, with large spaces devoted to directing fleet actions. It has its own weapons, but needing to use its missiles in the main engagement would indicate that something had gone wrong. A recalled episode transfers those missiles to ships that expect to need them sooner, with replacements to be manufactured afterward. The tactical logic is praised, although the recollection of which book contains the transfer remains uncertain.
