They will. But do you have a choice?
It's like shift of naval meta during WWII. Suddenly it was required to bolt AAA guns to every free inch of the deck and superstructures, ships needed to be protected by fighter CAPs, because even this amount of AAA wasn't enough. It was extremely uncomfortable to fight comparing to "good ol times". But do navies had a choice? You either do these things or you get sank by pesky airplanes (and they still sank ships even with all these things).
