It's actually going to be fully expected. Keep in mind that there are at least three O-6 paygrade officers on board who have extensive experience with the higher ups that form the Spacey's High Command - something that is not really touched on in the anime because even in the original incarnation of Macross they didn't do their homework terribly well.
By all rights, an SDF should be an Admiral's Flagship - especially once they start sending out the colonization fleets - with a Commodore in overall command of the myriad organs (fighter and destroid squadrons, ARMD Platforms, etc), and the ship's 'skipper' being solely in command of the ship operations. This will be something that I address later on after the metaphorical rocks fall.
Additionally, I finally found a source with a suitable enough description of the technology that I feel comfortable in using it in the fic.
