Not to mention the fact that to sink a OHP, you need three hits with it. It's not so unviable that a missile is shot down before enable, either, perhaps unless you're shooting from the 14.8nm mark or something.
So against a OHP, the minimum is 4 missiles.
BTW, the akula is able to launch 14 of them in one volley, by also using all external tubes. Few ships can survive that.
