Why do you think that a modern carrier requires such a huge support group? Because therere lots of thing that it cannot defend itself against. Low flying missiles and fast moving speedboats amongst them
Ok, to be honest a typical US carrier is actually bristling with point defence weapons. But if it is forced to use them, then something has gone seriously wrong

My question were more like what would the battleship do, if it couldn't rely on ANY help at all. :P
But true enough, battleships, in real life that is, require support groups.
Problem is, that in this game you are quite able to find yourself in situations where you don't have any support groups at all. A battleship shouldn't need it here. The battleship should be enough in it self to tackle anything. Except another battleship, a small group of cruisers, a larger group of gunboats, and so on and so on.
You are, mostly, alone out there. In a battleship you should just have the biggest chance of surviving.
