I mean they used it and it worked pretty effectively the first time. Like if someone had destroyed our nuke stockpile after hiroshima I think we would make more or if like the first carrier had been sunk but the concept proved effective I think we would make another.
The issue isn’t the time required to build another one, just that it’s weird to see the same “big evil thing to destroy” two times in a trilogy.

The weapon makes sense, it’s just a bit uninspired from a story telling perspective
