Question

Could Talos be used against enemy ships?

Short answer

Yes; a surface-to-surface mode is recalled, although the answer qualifies that recollection.

Notes

Talos is identified as a beam-riding missile with a surface-to-surface mode. The mode is recalled with some uncertainty, while the missile's size explains the expectation that a hit could cause substantial damage.
