If you use 6 ships without CT you gain in total 6.5x the xp the enemy fleet rewards:

Flagship 1.5x and 5x1 for the other ships.

Now there are 4 cases to be concidered: CT as flagship, CT not as flagship, using 2 CTs 1x flagship 1x not. and 2x not as flagship. Lets say the CTs are 100+, this results in multipliers equal to 1.2x, 1.15x, 1.25x, and 1.175x.

Now CTs aren't useful for events except if E1 is a ASW operation, where a CT can be brought. Even then, having a high leveled normal CL that can do OASW will probably be more useful because you can use it on other maps aswell. This means you pretty much waste the XP you gain on your CTs.

Case 1: CT flagship

You lose 1.5x xp and gain and gain the 1.2x mutliplier:

5*1.2  = 6

Case 2: CT not as flagship

You lose 1x xp and gain and gain the 1.15x mutliplier:

5.5*1.15  = 6.325



Case 3: CT flagship and CT not as flagship

You lose 2.5x xp and gain and gain the 1.25x mutliplier:

4*1.2  = 5



Case 2: 2x CT not as flagship

You lose 2x xp and gain and gain the 1.175x mutliplier:

4.5*1.15  = 5.2875



All these numbers are below 6.5, the value you get for leveling 6 ships you want. Meaning its better not to use a CT. This was already under the assumption, that your CT(s) was married. If she isn't (they aren't), the boni are alot lower and you lose even more XP a sixth ship could gain by replacing the CT.

However if you really want to level a CT (for what ever reason) putting her not as flag ship is the best choice.
