Marathon-class vs Carrier
The cruiser in Battlegroup Stalingrad was never stated as a Marathon-class, if it were a Halcyon-class then it would only make sense that a modern carrier was the flagship. With that being said, at the Battle of Sigma Octanus the Leviathan (a Marathon-class) was the flagship despite there being carriers present. The simple definition of a carrier would make it less effective against Covenant capital ships as Longswords lack the capability to break through shields. It's highly unlikely a carrier is more powerful and in lesser abundance than a Marathon-class especially since prior to the fall of reach there were only 20 cruisers still active and it's stated explicitly that they are the most powerful vessels made by human hands.
