The proposed carrier has a larger role than moving fighters between locations. Because the craft can self-deploy, the opening air group does not cap how many fighters can eventually use its support facilities. A Galaxy-class ship retains major firepower, can defend itself, and can remain relatively close to the battle. Fighters can return to rearm, receive repairs, and place injured crew into medical care before going back into the fight, increasing their useful combat time.

Galaxy-class carriers as durable force multipliers
A Galaxy-class carrier variant can stay near the fight because it retains major ship firepower while giving damaged or depleted fighters a place to return.
