We'll see how much they improve the explosions and the SFX. I'll lay money down saying they will be a minor improvement that will need to be modded (once again).

There is a great photo somewhere of a destroyer being towed into harbor after losing it's entire bow section.
Other ships suffered massive damage, but stayed afloat.
It's not unusual.
The USS Minneapolis
USS St. Louis
HMS Eskimo
and USS LST 387
All lost large parts of their structure with out sinking.
Not the pic I was looking for, but here is Eskimo.

LST 328
