Dont be so surprised at our reluctance to commission so many Battleships and Capital vessels. Wing commander Sanguinius operates a bomber by choice and combined with your gunship together both of you should be more than capable of causing considerable grief to ANY capital ships. I have seen this lethal combination at work many times in the past and the ability to be mobile and reactive far outstrips the need for us to pin down Jumpholes with capital ships.
your observation regarding cardamine is something that has been noted on many occasions in the past. Smugglers have long used the route from alpha-beta-sig19-sig13-NB as a lucrative smuggling run relying on the dependency of the less fortunate in rheinland. I would suggest you equip Train CD to your gunboat. Combined with the devastating firepower from a bomber no smuggler will be safe attempting to import illegal substances during our shift. Feel free to issue KOS orders against any miscreant who does manage to escape our grasp in Sigma 13.
