Playing on realistic, anything smaller than a Kiev seems to go down with 1 hit and surface ships tend to sink very quickly.
After watching a video about the HMS Sheffield that was hit by an Exocet during the Falklands war, it took 6 days for the ship to sink.

Obviously many people don't want to have to hang around the mission area for hours or days to confirm a sinking, but just how close to real is it for a mk48 to sink a destroyer in seconds after a hit?
