If that's BEFORE fighter defense, I'd think it might be worth including
in a large missle bay.

Generally a SM is overkill on a destroyer, and a fighter group is worth
about the same as a destroyer, which is why I say that shooting an SM at
fighters is wasteful.
The other problem is timing. Fighters move after SM so you'll never hit
the fighters--unless you mix the anti-fighter SM with a batch of normal
SM that the fighters are obligated to attack. You might force teh
fighters to burn an Endurance, but using a SM is an awfully expensive
way to do that.
