The fabled Macross-class revival. Personally I doubt we will see anything like that soon. It would be quite a departure from our current fleet operation doctrines. Once you build a fleet around a single big gun you need to protect that big gun. Our current model of mixing battleships with fighter carriers allows a little more tactical flexibility. I don't see why command would change its mind in this regard."<br/><br/>Hitomi Morgenstern paused a moment, after what had been a pretty long speech by her standards and gathered her thoughts. When Maika Torok remarked, "too many eggs in one basket?", the operations officer just nodded.<br/><br/>"But in general, yes," she finally said. "There will be more human-built ships. I think the Salan-class pickets will be the first to go, replaced by Northamptons. The larger Zentraedi ships will stay with us for a while. The bettlecruisers and carriers ships currently in service will remain useful for years to come, and that means they need Zentraedi crews. Any new ships coming off the production lines will be in addition to currently operating ships. That means new crews, not just for the ships, but also for carried fighters, and there is a limit to our personnel strength."
