I think this would be an awsome idea(I just hope the Carrier Admirals don't tear it apart).
I would put about 480 VLS cells. Each platform should have a certain number of VLS cells so it can defend itself on it's way out there before they are conected. I would put about 480 ESSMs, 260 SM-2MRs, and 100 SM-3's for Ballistic Missile defense. On top of this I would put 2 SeaRAM's on each section and another 2 Goalkeepers on each Platform. This would make it virtually invunrable to any attack. On top of this it could have any type of fighters and even a C-5 could land on it. Even Submarines could be based at it.
You could also get more then 1 sorty off of it a day because it doesn't require a catapult and an arrested landing.
Even if a Cruise Missile manages to hit a section you just disattach it and send it back for repairs. The rest can reconnect with each and you will still have almost a mile long runway.
