A passing thought: as most of us probably use the C-battery against
fighters/missiles idea, how about letting an ADAF add C-batteries, if
the
ship has them, to it's supporting anti-fighter fire. Say, up to 2
C-batteries per ADAF, at double points but no extra mass for the
batteries.
That would permit WW2 style "heavy dual-purpose" secondary batteries on
heavy units, and CLAAs like the RN Dido or US Atlanta classes.
Just a notion!
