Based on the assumption that the missiles seen in season 4 are not a
recent invention EFSB will have to be modified to use them. The missiles
there were salvoes.  Hyperion class ships also carried them it seems as
that's what Sheridan used on the Lexington (minus their delivery
systems) to take out the Black Star.  One can only guess if ship-borne
missiles are salvo or indivdual.
