"A good attack option would be to launch a swarm that jams your systems whilst providing targeting data back to the firing unit which then follows up with anti-ship missiles. This is how the Black Sea flag ship the Moskva was sunk. Although that was done with “just” a single drone and two missiles (which a competent ship would have defeated), make that 126 drones and a salvo of ballistic missiles, all with a simultaneous time on top and you have a problem." - Yes, Moskva boy is sunk with minimum SSMs when it kept its pants down.

"intelligence tracking, improved defensive weapons and cast-iron rules of engagement all need to be in sync if you are to avoid being surprised and then overwhelmed" - This maxim is what every CMO player must internalized.
