They do burn rather nicely as we saw a few months back.

"One surface to surface or air to surface missile will convert it to anchor capability."

Maybe, depending on where it hits. You're forgetting torpedoes. Hit the right spot and you can break the ship in half, as seen in the battle of Midway and other naval engagements.

Many battleships went down in the Pacific due to a singular torpedo directed amidship and just under the hull. That was the sweet spot so to speak. Hitting them just below the draft did damage, but the sweet spot is what sank them on both sides.

No it won't. True, it could damage it. It could knock it of commission but it would be repaired and returned to service. You know nothing about the Navy or damage control.

If you want to SINK a warship you have to inflict underwater hull damage. To do that a torpedo would have to be used. I would guess with all the WTD's shut it would take 6 or more torpedo top actually SINK the ship.
