Carriers and Dreadnoughts shouldnt be able to be warp scrambled at all. There is no way a tiny device fitted on a poorly fitted frigate should be able to do anything to a Dreadnought or a Carrier at all.
The last time i talked to a carrier pilot he said that not only would a warp scrambler prevent you from warping it would stop you from cynoing out too.

Capital ships should then have a statutory warp scramble defense strength. This wouldnt have to be much just a single point perhaps. This would make the chances of a lone frigate or similar ship holding down a ship that is 700 times large than it much more difficult.

There have been cases where larger ships at sea have caught smaller ships in their wake and destroyed them.

Yes, and it happens in the air around b-52s and 747's as well. This is because of turbulence in air or water caused by the displacement of the material.
Space has no turbulence on a scale that would effect any sort of ship, of course if eve modeled engine flare (do eve ships even use reaction drives?) then you might still have to stay away from the engine exhaust depending on ship sizes.

I know that that wasnt the point i was making. My only point was how ineffectual smaller ships are against larger ships. I had no intention of drawing a real world analogy to ship fluid mechanics.
Typicaly ships that are 700 times smaller in weight would be unlikely to have any true purposefull design effect on their larger counterparts. If we were to take an analogy to a barge used to help guide, tow and direct larger vessels will typicaly have a 3rd the displaced weight not 1/700th the displaced weight. I cant see a small 2 man fishing vessel stopping a luxury liner.
