It's still worth training your missile boats to build up their experience though- combat bonuses will still help them avoid getting hit by direct fire weapons.

By the time you have the capacity, and the opportunity, to train ships in such a way, is it still worthwhile to be using CSM barges?

I have only played AI, but it seems that CSM rapidly becomes a waste of tonnage somewhere in midgame, when everyone has PDC.
