Lets not forget how HUGE space is.
A single carrier is pretty useless to protect your assets, unless they are all on the same station. A series of destroyers can be in multiple places at once.
The US has a lot of carriers not because they "want to protect their trade/ships/...", but because carriers are good at projecting power for offensive operations. Not sure if we want that kind of operations in Fenspace in the near future.
