Designing a successor to the Venator-class Star Destroyer

How would you design a successor to the Venator class?

Improve the gun layout and hangars, strengthen protection, and let fighters close with the enemy while the carrier supports them from range.

One proposed successor places its main guns along the centreline in superfiring positions, allowing forward and broadside fire. Hangars open to both sides, while more power, armour, and shielding support extended operations far from a base. The intended doctrine keeps the carrier back to bombard while its fighters close with the enemy. Other suggestions include removing the exposed command towers and enlarging the facilities for carried craft. A proposal to standardize Anakin's ventral gun provokes disagreement: the improvised artillery piece worked in its particular engagement, but required a dangerously close approach. The broader criticism is that treating a Venator as a traditional line-of-battle capital ship wastes its carrier role.
