The I-400 had a range of 37,500 nautical miles miles (1.5 times around the earth) and the aircraft it carried had a maximum range of over 600 nm. A long I-400 has a much better chance of stealthfully approaching a target than an lone escort carrier on the surface. The disadvantage, of course, if the limited number of aircraft.
