Yep, That always works out well.
The U.S. Navy took one look at H.M.S Sheffield during the Falklands and said "We can build Aluminum ship that burn brighter and kill our soldiers faster than the British can!"
Dolts, all of them.

It's not just aluminum superstructures that caused the loss of British ships in the Falklands.
If one looks at comparable "missile sponges" like the Stark and Roberts you can see that damage control can play a huge factor in saving or losing a ship.
