I'm now imagining an actual battleship so huge as to carry destroyers into the battlefield. (Kaga probably could've carried one on her flight deck if there was some reason to hoist one up there...)
Massively impractical, but probably equally as awesome.
EDIT: By the by, that frame of Nagato is just waiting to have her sign blanked and made into a macro. EDIT2: I was hoping that was a wiggly-arm-dance Kaga was pulling, and I'm not disappointed.

This needs to be a thing, like more firepower, for like double the refueling resources.
Less firepower because they occupy the guns while they only have relatively weak guns compared to the BB. But higher torpedo stats, obviously because all BB other than the REturnee from hell can't launch torpedo (0).
Lethal on the CV because they took over the flight deck, eliminating airplane attacks.

Technically, they were going on the air defense practice run, (which could be handled by DesDiv 6, alone,) which only gives bauxite out as a reward, but which still consumes fuel and ammo. So technically, they're profiting exactly as much as they would otherwise on bauxite in exchange for needlessly depleting fuel and ammo.
Also, it's hard to tell from how KanColle normally depicts things, but the real battleships were insanely huge compared to destroyers. (The Akatsuki class weighed less than 2k tons, and Nagato weighed over 32k tons. Yamato was nearly 72k tons with a full load. In the Battle off Samar, they calculated that Yamato alone outweighed the 6 light carriers and her several destroyer and destroyer escort ships that the Japanese were fighting against.) Battleships could practically carry destroyers like other ships carry life rafts.

Oh, and best part of this picture is Hibiki pulling the, "I'm flying, Kaga!"
Whatever Kaga's faults, she dotes on the destroyers almost as much as Nagato. Hibiki is practically her daughter.
Zooom!Hmpf!BOASTThe dodging-the-question-with-dance Kaga-sanFuelWhee!Woo!AmmoI don't think that Kirishima-san gets to be together with her very much, you know?Haruna-san and Kirishima-san look so happy!*grrrr*plsshhh...The ran-out-of-resources-a-while-ago Akagi-sanLaunching the type 99 bombers!*Of course, Nagato-san eats more by herself than all of the 6thDesDiv combined.The empty Nagato-sanSo faaast!
So hiiigh!
Yaaay!Because I was towing the 6thDesDiv, fuel consumption was limited to just myself and Kaga !
