Personally, neither option is appealing to me.
But that's just my opinion, man.

(1,990 posts)They wargamed having VXTs (VXT means Very expensive Target, such as an aircraft carrier), vs many much smaller crafts. The outcome was that some of the smaller boats would be taken out, but always won.
This was years ago, I don't have a link for it.

(16,858 posts)Would have been around 2007/08. It was an excercise based on the scenario of these, what amounts to missile loaded bassboats in the Iranian Navy, attacking a capital ship like a carrier. They have hundreds of these boats and under no scenario was the carrier successful in avoiding a serious strike.

A duck the size of a horse would fuck you up in two seconds.
