No, I can't see this either, unless you are "lucky" enough (not so lucky
for the scoutship crew!!) to have the enemy missiles end up nearer the
scout than to your big ship. I suppose you could surround the big ships
with a ring of little ones, but even so there is nothing to stop a
well-placed SM salvo ending up inside this "defensive" ring after
movement.
