That's what I thought too.

The more I think about it, the more merit it has, although I don't know if it
addresses the need to make SMALL numbers of fighters viable. It definitely
curtails the locustiness of large swarms of fighters, and it really cramps
Soapbubbles, since if a carrier can't survive long enough to rearm its
fighters, those fighters are useless against anything but other fighters.

If you're only bringing one squadron, you just make them Torp/Attack
fighters. It has a meaningful damage result if you don't expect enemy
fighters.
