CDRE Gibs, I whole heartedly agree with you, how the Devs didn't model the fire to progressively damage the ship is beyond me.
That is one of my gripes with the game, also putting an AP round in the engine compartment should have a big impact, not only damage but most of the crew should be dead too, and blowing deck cargo up should also add progressively to the damage. During the opening phases of the battle of the River Plate, a 11" shell from the Graf Spee, burst about 20 yards from the Exeter, cutting down her port side torpedo crew and riddling the tubes with splinters, as you say these shells are indeed leathal when they detonate, I just wish the devs had taken this more in to account.
