Squadrons, Fighter Screens and Missiles

Squadrons, Fighter Screens and Missiles
How do squadrons affect SMLs and fighter screens? I have a few 
suggestions but no clear answers.
1. Roll randomly for each ship in the squadron to determine which ship 
is targeted by each individual missile salvo.
2. Decide on the formation used by the squadron so that you can 
determine which ship is closest.
I prefer option 1 although 2 is more realistic 1 is simpler.

Do fighter screens escort individual ships or an entire squadron of 
ships?
