Missile boats need offboard scouting and multi-axis salvos

Small fast attack craft become useful when drones provide targeting and shore batteries help attack a defended ship from several directions.

Notes

The answer accepts that a missile boat approaching alone is vulnerable to modern sensors and guided weapons. It restores value to the craft by moving scouting to drones and linking the boat's launchers with land-based missile batteries. Coordinated arrivals from several bearings force the target to divide sensors, interceptors, and defensive fire. The principle is not that one small boat defeats a major combatant, but that distributed launch points can overload a defensive system through numbers and geometry.
