The US designed it's fleet based around one big heavy attacking another big heavy. It's in their nature to want a big threatening bully of a ship. It also helps that big heavy threatening things are magnitudes more expensive than smaller more effective things. The whole navy is this way. Its why we have so many carriers and why they get their shit pushed in in simulation after simulation by a force that instead uses a whole bunch of smaller ships.
Well actually also it's designed around one big heavy bullying a few smaller under equipped ships and or attacking smaller nations that aren't capable of defending themselves.
It's kind of odd how every hardkill system seems to have the fatal flaw of "well what if there's a bit more of the stuff you're supposed to stop"
