@localf15enjoyer Actually, not necessarily. Sure, your coverage is better but there are also things you simply couldn't do with smaller vessels.
If you have 10 100k tonne ships then you can cover multiple theatres but only launch certain, smaller craft.
One 1M tonne ship, however, could launch much, much larger planes (strategic bombers, for example) and carry weapons that simply couldn't be carried by the smaller ships (for example, massive lasers do handle munitions too fast or durable for smaller reactors to power).
It's a trade-off.
Of course, larger ships also need special support (larger dry docks, for example). Look up the SS Great Eastern for a great example of troubles encountered by a ship larger than the world it inhabits, so to speak. Of course, that was a commercial vessel, but some of the issues (like needing to build a cofferdam to make hull repairs) could still apply to a massive warship.
Alternatively, you could make a 500k tonne ship with similarly massive deck space for large planes but without the capability to carry the reactors needed for a giant laser system.

Reddit, am I the arsehole?
My mum (82F) told me (12M) to do the dishes (16) but I (12M) was too busy playing Fortnite (3 kills) so I (12M) grabbed my controller (DualShock 4) and threw it at her (138kph). She fucking died, and I (12M) went to prison (18 years). While in prison I (12M) incited several riots (3) and assumed leadership of a gang responsible for smuggling drugs (cocaine) into the country. I (12M) also ordered the assassination of several celebrities (Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Jeffrey Epstein) and planned a terrorist attack (9/11). Reddit, AITA?
Cool ship, but
"USF Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Beast."
The Beast is far, far larger than a Nimitz, at 450 meters long against a Nimitz's 333 or so.
@TriStar I now know way too much about dissecting living people/pickaxing innocents/hitting babies against trees/horrifically attacking neighbours for no reason/being a Nazi but far, far worse.
@OrangeConnor2 ?

@TheMouse oh okay
@TalonTheCRTguy Maybe tag the account I'm engaging with this conversation using?
@jamesPLANESii How do you test things, then?
Or are you referring specifically to air traffic?
The dumbasses don't even know how to take off in very simple aircraft.
Gear instantly goes up in some craft for some reason.
@TheMouse Not unless, then you should turn to stone!

SODA!

@MrSilverWolf I figured.
@TheMouse this I guess

Oof
@DatFiat126Fan19 my silly request for 50k upvotes got removed.
+1Turns out I botched the math too since I’d only need 12.5k start to finish.

@TheMouse Then my work here is done!
@TheMouse No, you will.

@OrangeConnor2 Of course it is!
Now shut up and upvote!
@Griffon1 What a jest!
Quite humorous, really!

@HuskyDynamics01 You made me look like a fool in public YTA @Moderators have this animal shunned from the forum!
+1You are crazy
So it's just over 400 meters?
+1Dang, that's still big.
plogus
Rip
What kind of loser watches that?
So what's the canonical length? Compared to the Beast it looks about three times as large, or about ~1350m roughly.
