The proposed large surface combatant discussed in this video could contribute to a carrier group through its missile capacity. A hull of that size would be particularly useful in this argument if it carried more vertical-launch cells. Those additional missiles would deepen the formation's magazine for sustained fighting. That advantage matters especially while reloading VLS cells at sea remains an unresolved problem in the assessment presented here.

A large surface combatant can add task-group magazine depth
The naval value of the proposed large surface combatant depends on how many additional missiles it could contribute to a carrier task group.
