Ion tokens always affect Small ships, but Large ships require two ion tokens. If a large ship gets only one ion token, that token stays on the ship until it gets a 2nd ion (if ever). This makes Large ships more ion-resistant than small ships.

This card and other effects that assign two tokens are guaranteeing that they're just as effective against large ships as against small ones.
