I might work on making it impossible to damage them except with shell fire.

There was one, USS Archer-Fish. Although the diesels did not quit, there was a electrical fire that cut off the electric to the motors. This in effect killed the diesels. They did rig up the 5th smaller motor and were able to make it to port. So yep, pretty darn hard to make 4 engines that are in separate rooms go ca-blooy.
