Don't listen to the Tormented Sufferer guy below telling you not to fighter mule CVs. Like seriously, this is just a meaningless statement that comes with no reasoning or numbers.

Let me give you some numbers. Zuikaku has 184 FP post-cap in parallel engagement and 159 in head-on. Sara has 182 and 148 respectively. Base crit rate in day battle is at most 12.7%. With two bomber slots, you get 24.7%. In other words, you are expected to crit once throughout the day battle with 2 CVs. You can trigger two types of CVCI, of which enjoy 1.25 and 1.15 post cap modifiers respectively.

On the other hand, musashi has 187 FP in parallel and 181 FP in head-on. You will still get 159 FP in parallel and chuuha. You can do arty spotting for 1.5 modifier and double attack for 1.2 modifier and two attacks. More to that, you can fight in night battle.

Moving on to Nelson, if you use her as the flagship and bring enough BBs for Nelson touch, you can enjoy stupidly high post cap FP modifiers when Nelson touch triggers. From statistics I have collected, trigger chance is about 60%, and you get three rolls at it is it is almost guaranteed.

Let's just agree that CVs are not great in head-on engagement with that equipment setup, as shown by the numbers. Nelson with a bunch BBs can exactly help you on that. Again, from statistics I have collected, Nelson touch gives 1.65 post cap modifier in head-on on unarmored targets, and 1.75 on armored targets. Modifiers are even better at other engagements. Now, find me a CV that beats that.

Oh btw, do you know that you can go BFDHNOS with no re pre-boss?
