Then again, carriers are build to bring Torpedo Bombers to destroy enemy fleets. Torpedo Bombers are slow, frakkin slow, doesnt even have Jump Drives and some without afterburners, making them useless without capship support. Carriers bring them along, but some like the Midway and Bengal barely have anti-ship weaponry, like in the movie, where, without their fighters and bombers, are space dust to enemy ships, exactly where Battleships and cruisers come in play, designed to pit it off one-on-one with other capships and unescorted carriers. Carriers, too are expensice as mention above so there aren't a lot of 'em, most engagements could be focused to CapshipVsCapShip battles. Destroyers and Corvettes come in when both sides required an extra anti-snubfighter screen for the bigger, more expensive ships,like carriers, which are prone to Torpedo attacks. Snubfighters, however are to take on enemy fighters while the pig-slow bombers can carry out their runs. Fighters can also do lotsa things, scouting, interception, deep-space dogfighteing, anything to do with enemy-killing.
