Organic Fixed Wing Air Defence for CVS?

If the aircraft are the key Air defence mechanism for the CVS, then what is the Type 45 for? If we can only "routinely embark up to a dozen JSF - how many of those will be tied up defending the ship - are we heading for another self licking lollipop?

Rather than going over old, and irreversible, ground, what is the Defence argument for ship-borne fixed wing air defence?
