Assuming each missile hits and has a crit from Guidance Chips, yes that looks right. A swarm of 4 Kimoilas or B-Wings etc could spam a lot of damage both to the target and surrounding victims this way. The trick is getting everyone to have arc, lock, and range all at once (especially on low-PS ships). Sometimes it helps to have tracers to pull this off.

Also... I don't remember for sure, but I think a ship could also have multiple copies of Harpooned. It's not unique, so if you hit a target with 3 Harpoon missiles but fail to get crits in, then it would have 3 Harpooned conditions waiting for a single uncanceled crit to trigger them all at once. Even if one killed the ship, the others would resolve before it's taken off the table, allowing them to still splash nearby ships.

(someone please correct me if I'm getting this wrong)
