That sounds right.
During the battle of Okinawa we lost about 30 ships due to “one getting through”.

Also remember most modern ships are made of aluminum so they can’t take the pounding like WW2 era ships could.

During the battle of Okinawa we lost about 30 ships due to one getting through.They were damaged, repaired and almost everyone returned to the fleet with the USS Franklin being a prime example of damage control and repair.
