"Banzai jammers" means small ships which are kept in formation around
your valuable ships; since salvo missiles hit the "closest" target,
there's a good chance your opponent's missiles will be wasted against
the BJs rather than the real target.  (  I remember dropping 5 salvos
for a total of 22 missiles on a battledreadnought--except that a Mass
18 frigate turned out to be just a little closer...).

The counter tactic is to knock off the BJs with long range beam fire.
