Propose exactly the largest warship (in gross tonnage) which can be sunk in single shot by a single soldier using SFM (shoulder-fired missile)?
Following limitations apply:
1) No support for SAM bearer - i.e. shots from helicopter or boat with crew other than SAM bearer are not allowed
2) Must be repeatable - First shots of war, shots from inside of target vessel, or point-blank shots are not allowed
3) Historical plausibility - both naval vessel and SFM must coexist in the same period
4) Alternate warheads to SFM launchers are allowed, but nuclear warheads are not.
5) Target must be an purpose-built warship - not the converted civillian
6) No lucky shot - targetting of parts smaller than SFM dispersion is not allowed (this disallows attacks down the smoke stack, for example). Targeting windows is allowed, but windows are presumed to be closed.
It is obvious something like 100-tons river gunboat or torpedo boat can be sunk with anti-tank shoulder-fired missile like Panzerfaust, M67 or Carl Gustav (simply by breaking vessel in halves). Anybody proposing a bolder target/SFM pair?
