Adapting a historical fleet to a fictional space war

What fleet would you assemble to invade the Galactic Empire?

One proposal uses French-inspired capital ships, numerous smaller combatants and a converted carrier, with mirrored armament for coverage above and below each hull.

The invasion scenario adapts historical French warship designs to combat against the Galactic Empire. Mirroring the main armament beneath the hull gives weapons coverage above and below the ship. Numerous smaller combatants accompany capital ships with heavy quadruple turbolaser mounts, while gunboats add more hulls to the force. The carrier conversion replaces the conventional flight deck with launch and recovery openings at the bow and stern. Its old aircraft-landing limitations would consequently matter differently in space. These proposed capabilities depend on the fictional setting's weapons and flight rules.
