Replaced by drones being launched from cruisers and destroyers? Might as well.

A drone that doesn't need a landing pad is a missile.

Yeah what's the distinction between a loitering missile and suicide drones anyway? I don't see any difference.

You can't land cargo planes on your cruisers and destroyers. Fighting a war without support from the country you are invading requires a lot of logistics.
