Does anyone really think a wooden hulled boat could survive for long when hit by high explosive naval artillery shells?

You would not think so BUT in multiple accounts I've read by famous war time skippers like Fluckey, O Kane, etc etcc They all mention using their 4 inch deck gun as well as 40 and 20 MM to just blast small wooden fishing boats etc to crap and the boats just wouldnt sink, theyd burn but wouldnt sink.I think they should catch fire easier in the game but sink easier, not sure given the RL accounts.
I think a torpedo on the other hand should just decimate a small craft, as it would in real life.
