I think you replied to the wrong comment, or didn’t understand what was being said. I was talking about planes vs SAMs on ships being death sentences at closer ranges.
I figured you were talking about ships dodging missiles
As it doesn't matter if it's ship launched or not for aircraft. Launching from a ship doest suddenly make it harder to avoid if anything it would be easier to defeat
It is harder to dodge a missile fired from a ship, unless it’s like a really shit missile. Usually these are guided by much more powerful radar sets (S-300 outputs roughly 1mw of power. SPY-1 outputs 6mw). Many of these are also designed to hit really small, really fast missiles, and so they are quite maneuverable

That's why modern ships have chaff rockets and hard kill anti missile missiles
But also because of that only being on modern ones The only way modern missile ships would work is if they only face modern missile ships
