They pick their target at the end, so they have terminal guidance
systems. However, they have to be pointed in approximately the
right direction to begin with. So I'd say their target, for missile
launch purposes, would be a location on the table (say, a 1" or 2"
circle somewhere in their arc & range of fire).
Which would mean that their initial target could be a group of
small ships or one large ship, or just a marker placed for the
purpose.
