I think I must differ slightly here. Yes, the KSR-5 is 10m long, but its
wingspan is 2.5m and the main body diameter is only 0.9m; since it's by
definition presenting a frontal aspect, I'd give it at _most_ SM0.
I tend to agree, but don't recall if 3E considers that (4E certainly
does). 0.9m (1 yard) is SM -2 however its cross-section is circular, and
according to 4E you add +2SM so it should end up as SM+0. A smaller
missile (like almost all current western ones) would be SM-1. Note that
this only applies to the target, as the defending ships are mostly going
to be off the flightpath at least a bit.
