I don't know. It might make it easier to jam the missile, or (and from 
simple visual observation of where the magic padding is applied) it makes it 
hard to detect the part sticking up in the middle with all the honchos and 
electronics in it, compared to the rest of the ship. So, in other words, 
maybe the idea is to get you to blow up the flight deck instead of the 
bridge, for the same reason you don't give the general a rifle and put him 
on the front line to help out.

If I knew why they did it, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

Sure. They were also simulating guerrillas without a lot of expensive tech, 
in a bay. (I.e., something like Iran "terrorists" fighting in the Persian gulf.)
