I'm a bit fuzzy on
Protector, since it's been quite a while since I read it (though not thirty years, obviously), but IIRC it had a battle between the protagonists and pursuing Pak ships which includes the use of tactics similar to what you mention.

Aircraft carriers in space would be about as good as cargo freighters, unless they're the sort that can conduct trans-Atmospheric operations like the AeroSpace Fighters in BattleTech. As for 'stealth ships', those seem to be out of the realm of realistic physics at this point.
