For 159 & 160.

Remember, the only "one hit = one destroyer lost" is meaningfull ONLY for modern destroy/frigate/cruiser missile ships.

WWII destroyers and frigates (DE's) took dozens of shell hits, some two or kamakazi's and could still fight.

But post-WWII, the story is different: They became glass ships manned by steel men.

Note to self: look at the difference in damage between Liberty ship and landing ships damage compared to destroyer-sized hulls.

Second note to self: USS Schenectady was SUNK! (Maybe the most useful thing that hull did: Middie cruise, summer 1975 out of San Diego)
