Weeell... I suppose I could, but that hasn't happened *quite* yet. 
Though
I did take out an NSL light cruiser with a single salvo from two
class-2s
(my Trident Frigate design).  *That* left an amazed expression on my
opponent's face... who then proceeded to pound the crap out of all the
Tridents on the board, kind of like how I feel about Indy's
Tuffley-class
DDs. <grin>
