How should a Venator group provide deep maintenance?

Would a fighter force based on Venators still need a separate platform for deep maintenance?

Yes, but the support role can remain inside the group: one of six Venators can serve as the deep-maintenance ship while the others divide command, defence, and attack duties.

A viewer asks whether Venator-based fighter operations would require a separate deep-maintenance platform. A six-ship formation can divide that work internally. One Venator serves as command ship and retains fighters for the group's defence, while four carry the main attack wings. The sixth becomes the deep-maintenance platform that sustains aircraft and equipment beyond routine servicing. A common hull can support specialization without abandoning mutual protection or logistical self-sufficiency.
