I hardly think Faith, Hope, Charity and Desperation gives a really credible standing AD det.
MPA is only reinforceable if we have sufficient AAR and AT assets to enable us to get people on land early, have we got these to hand?.
At least with a carrier, you don't need any AAR and can get the pointy end of the forces into the active zone PDQ.
