Default [spaceships] bunker-buster bombs

Intrigued by the bombs in SS4. But I'm thinking we might need something heavier - with some SM6 fighters taking on SM14 cruisers it seems like some serious penetration will be necessary to break through say nanocomposite armor.

Granted the relative velocities can get pretty high once you get up to TL10^ torch technology, so k-kills are one way to do it. But for times whem that's not possible for whatever reason, what would a bunker-buster bomb look like? Happy to keep SS's level of abstraction rather than derive it fully from real statistics. But I'm thinking it's the size of a full missile, or even larger, and does maybe even 20% more damage because it's all warhead, and maybe has improved AP.

What would you guys suggest if we were going to house-build something along these lines? Thanks for the suggestions!
