Did a paper a few years ago: For 48 destroyer and cruiser-sized ship actually “hit” by ANY weapon of ANY type (armed, unarmed, dud, air blast, torpedo, missile, or simple cannon fire) ONE TIME, not ONE of those ships in ANY NAVY was able to continue combat. ...
...Not ONE of 48 ships hit after WWII was able to do that.

USS Gurke (destroyer) two hits from shore batteries didn't prevent the ship from continuing combat.

USS Collett (destroyer) FIVE hits from shore batteries didn't impair combat effectiveness.
