If you know people are going to be coming at you with 15+ fighter
groups it is pretty easy to deal with them.  15 fighter groups
is 135 mass on the carrier.  How many PDS's with ADFC can you put
in 135 mass?  Make an Aegis cruiser and keep your ships within 6 inches.
As a matter of fact 90 mass of PDS's and ADFC's should easily handle
15 fighter groups.  If they have SML backups then the 135 might be
necessary if you don't dodge well.
