Well, if you're trading 1 DD for the listed cargo, plus the merchie 
hulls, I think you'd come out ahead. The two fighter squadrons might 
be able to handle a DD by themselves, and the 7 missile salvos can 
mangle a capital ship. And if your fleet is SML heavy, then losing 
the ammo means you can't fight.
