A point to consider, military constructions and developments have - historically - resulted in the development of means to counter them. In a purer sense, it's dangerous to put all of your eggs in one basket, even a very safe basket, because somewhere there's a problem solver able to devise a method of defeating your basket's defenses, and before you have time to develop a new defense, your basket's been penetrated and all your eggs absconded with.

The point is, you probably can't build a thing so impressive that someone else can't invent a creative way of destroying it with a little lateral thinking; this sometimes applies to entire armies, but it's much easier to recover from this kind of thing when your entire military isn't a single massive vessel (or a few of them) - every problem has a solution, redundancy is the same as flexibility here, and is therefore your friend.
