This is only partially correct, She was retreating from Torpedoes most of the fight and only managed to engage a couple of CVEs, Which was when they discovered that the 18.1" Armor-Piercing Shells passed right through the unarmored flight deck and just holed the ship without exploding
Partially correct?

So which part of what I said was wrong?
