That missile closes at over 200 yards in less than 1/10th second. It would smash into the ship and probably detonate.

It’s still in the ballpark for pre-detonating the warhead before contact.

Though I was thinking the missile would count on kinetic damage and not a warhead. I was just thinking of nudging an airfoil-shape, which would cause a drastic change in it’s trajectory.
But I see similar ones in use now do have significant warheads.

Of course ‘in the ballpark’ is just a starting point!
