I was thinking of an offensive mobile platform rather than defensive, but the CKM is interesting. I have not looked at this in depth. Apparently, carriers are costly to produce and requires a significant technical skills and discipline among the crew. A drone carrier that can pack the same offensive capability, yet doesn't require the level of skilled and disciplined crew, and is cheaper, is significant. Particularly, combined with the "carrier killer missiles".
