Not every missile has this, the P-700 Granit (SS-N-19 SHIPWRECK) uses a 750kg SAP-HE warhead, seen here.

I know I'm late to the modern Battleship discussion thing, but it's a very stupid idea. This is the warhead from an AS-4 KITCHEN / Kh-22 Burya. It weighs ≈1000kg. That shaped charge looks somewhere between 500 and 750mm. At a conservative estimate of 2 cone diameters you cannot carry enough armor.

You think you hate the Wehrmacht enough, but you do not. They are long dead and you still cannot hate them enough.
