This is the equivalent to saying that a cigarette boat could get a couple shots off in a fight with a battleship because of it's maneuverability and speed.

Well yes that may be true.

However, it's more likely a battleship would sink a cigarette boat with a precision guided weapon a second after it becomes visible on the horizon.

ahhh, but put a little effort into building the cigarette boat and the response envelope is drastically small, small enough that a swarm of cheap boats could gut a battleship.
