I'm not so sure unless aircraft speed and fuel useage change a lot. There is nothing like a carrier task force off your shores to make one rethink your position. In fact a carrier task force might take on a larger roll in world affairs. Fleets would have to have more destroyers and frigates though to properly protect.
