I was more thinkg in line with commercial transport. Minning equipment for hard to reach mines, suplies for backwater research outposts. Or supplying a field of drilling platforms. One ship could drop anchor and 3 choppers would resuply a number of platforms in a lot faster time than if the ship would sail from one platform or another.
In disaster relief the ship would be used if it would be closer to the area than a carrier and later could augment the effort

hey subzero, you're talking about artificial gills, now i've got another idea. this is for the diesel electric submarine, how about create an artificial gills on a submarine, so the sub can extract oxygen from the water, so the sub can run its diesel engine to recharge the batteries, which means longer submerged time. recharging batteries underwater via snorkel is possible, but using snorkel may give your position, but i don't know if this was possible

Take a CVN and install a dock well like on a LHD with a elevator leading from the dock well to the hanger so the carrier could either carry a load of planes/UAVs or a extra large load of marines and vehicles. Install four phased array radars on the island and four small VLS launchers along the side of the flight deck for ESSM and Standard missiles.

The Air Wing would be:
Traditional Carrier Ops:
10 F-22N Raptors
40 F-35B/C Lightnings
40 F-47B Pegasus UCAVs
4 E/A-18G Growlers
4 EV-22 Osprey AEWs
4 SV-22 Osprey ASWs
8 MH-60R Strikehawks

Anphib:
30 F-35B/C Lightnings
20 MV-22 Ospreys
8 AH-1Z Cobras
4 MH-60R Strikehawks
3,000+ Marines, light armored vehicles, and Landing Craft.

huge capital ships, literally floating cities
thousands of planes, with huge guns, and the ability to launch subs like an aircraft carrier with planes
