I don't think in reality a ship of that size would have been dispatched by the DG unless it was crippled by torpedoes first. As others stated, the damage model used by RFB uses "flooding" rather than hitpoints to sink ships. It is much more realistic this way. If however the DG must be used, be sure you're aiming for the waterline. That's the only way damage will be sustained. All the fancy explosions and roaring flames above deck do nothing but look good.
