It just came to me that ordnance cards demand "[Discard this card and] spend your target lock to perform this attack", but nowhere is it stated that you should spend exactly the target lock you have on the defender. So RAW gives it that you can spend the other TL to pay cost for the attack, and then spend the TL you have on the defender for reroll. (You still need to have TL on the defender in the first place, because of the "Attack (target lock)" header.) However, RAI tells me the ordnance cards actually mean "spend the target lock you have on the defender to perform this attack", otherwise the exact same cheat would emerge with Deadeye: take a TL on ship A, get a focus, fire with torps at ship B, cover the "Attack (target lock)" requirement with Deadeye and spending the other TL as to the "spend target lock" part, then have torps fired with an unspent focus into a guy you weren't actually planning to torp during the Activation phase.
