Hi!
Three torpedoes (or fewer) could be quite enough to sink a battleship or battle cruiser. From real life: HMS Royal Oak: sunk by 3 torpedoes from U-47 (Prien)
HMS Barham: sunk by 3 torpedoes from U-331 (von Tiesenhausen)
HMS Repulse: 4-5 torpedoes from Japanese bombers.
HMS Queen Elizabeth: sunk by a magnetic mine emplaced by frogmen
HMS Valiant: sunk by a magnetic mine emplaced by frogmen
Conti de Cavour: sunk by one torpedo from a Swordfish torpedo bomber
