Actually, it started with Col. Welch's paper which showed the requirements flowed naturally in to using large tube artillery. From there I'd like to lay out the requirements, and from there see what kind of ship emerges.

So far our current DDX or carrier options are pretty huge and expensive.
No where in my suggested requirements does it say (besides the title) what kind of ship must emerge. Of course, the post assumes that the reader has read Col Welch's paper.
