They’re antiship missiles. Are there innocent children on missile cruisers somewhere I am unaware of?

Cruisers? These are meant for stuff like destroyers. Wimpy stuff that can't put up the defense a cruiser could.

I do agree, however, that anti-ship missiles will always be aimed at military targets. You use missiles to penetrate hostile airspace. If you don't need standoff capability you can put more boom on target cheaper with a laser guided bomb.
