I would much rather be the commander of a task force (fleet) with a combination of larger traditional ships and uncrewed flying and surface vessels (Fleet A) compared to one with only traditional ships (Fleet B). I think that a force with a combination of larger traditional ships and uncrewed flying and surface vessels allow for a larger freedom of action than a force with only traditional ships. However, measuring fleet capability is not easy and there are many pitfalls. Fleet modelling is one way of creating decision support for questions on fleet composition. Modelling requires simplifications and the question that need to be asked is which simplifications are ok and which make the modelling irrelevant.
More on this topic is analyzed and discussed in the article Analyzing Naval Fleet Modelling with a Tactics Perspective – The Case of Implementation of Autonomous Vessels published in the International Journal of Maritime Engineering (IJME).
