It might be worth it to build small carriers that house only utility fighters like that. I'm thinking somewhere in the 6-10k ton range; not a full-size fleet carrier. Just big enough to bring a lifeboat, some sensor ships, maybe a mine/buoy layer, a boarding craft, maybe a bomber for dropping actual bombs on poorly defended ground targets.
