The maximum mass you want is around 200-300.
It looks like you're trying to do too much with one ship. Split the
functions into 2-3 ships will give you more flexibility, especially if
you
wind up flying through SML/PB salvoes.  You've tried to combine a Foch
SDN with a light carrier and half a dozen destroyers. In heavy play, you're
often better with more ships of specialised roles.

A specialty ground support ship should mount Ortillery, Fighters and plenty
of PDS/ADFC/Armour plus a few smaller beams for defence.

As a suggestion, either drop the SMLs and half the beams, or shift the
fighters and Ptorps out to another ship.
