The missile defense we’ve been removing from ships in the last decade? That missile defense?

Current systems as installed on destroyers can only stop 6-8 missiles, then either the ship has to go back to port to reload or it takes hours with a ship’s crane to reload the box launcher. Three cigarette boats mounting four single shot launchers will swamp the current defenses. And an aggressor won’t care if the boats are destroyed after launch.
