Why a dedicated anti-drone battleship is the wrong model

Should a future battleship-sized ship specialize in carrying anti-aircraft weapons against drone swarms?

No; anti-drone systems must be fitted across the fleet rather than concentrated on one specialist ship.

Modern task groups spread over large areas, so a single anti-drone centerpiece cannot keep every ship within weapon range. Lasers, guns, and related defensive systems therefore need to appear across many hulls. The battleship proposal instead points toward distributed fleet protection.
