That would be rather impractical. Quite a few of the ASMs designed by the Soviet Union and Russia were made primarily for destroying aircraft carriers (Often with nuclear warheads too). Besides, the missile will stay the same even if you say it is designed for killing aircraft carriers or fish, it is only its effectiveness at either task that actually says anything about it...
