Choosing drone Renowns to fit existing infrastructure

Smaller Renown-class drones receive the preference because they fit more facilities and leave the largest infrastructure available for crewed ships.

Question

If an uncrewed battlecruiser could be mass-produced, should a navy choose the Renown class or Admiral class?

Short answer

The smaller Renown fits more existing infrastructure, leaves the largest facilities for human-crewed ships, and uses numbers to offset fewer guns.

Notes

The Admiral class is the initial theoretical choice, but the practical preference is the Renown class. More Renowns would fit the available infrastructure. The largest facilities could then serve bigger ships that still needed human crews. Sending three or four drones instead of one or two larger vessels would compensate for fewer guns on each hull.
