What does Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock reveal about fleet design?

How does Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock affect your view of battlestars?

It clarifies how the ships fight, but it reinforces the problem that a carrier-like battlestar lacks a proper escort group.

Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock helps explain how the battlestars fight. The larger problem is organizational: a carrier should normally operate with a battle group. Even an older battlestar would be expected to retain older cruisers, destroyers, or other escorts for screening and routine missions. The game-mechanics question therefore leads into the fleet architecture needed around a capital ship.
