I view it as a sidewinder vs amraam sort of thing. Battleships were pretty strictly limited to more or less within visual range, while carriers will engage from hundreds of nautical miles away. The introduction of carriers as more than a scouting unit I think changed naval warfare enough that I can’t just look at them as battleships+. On a similar sense while many cavalry formations adopted the tank I can’t look at them as just an evolution of men on horseback, as they also fill some artillery roles when necessary
