Well, if we consider "mission" to be strictly either:

AAW
ASuW
ASW
NGSF

then yeah, I'd have to say that's true, they are only single mission platforms.
However, there are many other roles that they can play. Are these roles enough to justify reactivation? Sadly, probably not.
As far as habitability and the other considerations, I am curious to know how much more they would have to be modernized to be brought up to 2005 standards. A lot of major work was done in the 80s, especially converting them from fuel oil to modern fuel.
