Most BBs take 2-4 torps to sink. Yamato generally takes 6+. CAs 2-3, DDs 1-2 which actually fits in to historical accounts.

CVs will sink with as little as 1-2 torps, may be a problem with the stock game, although again this matches most historical accounts.

Something occurs to me that is obvious when I finally thought about it, and that is the possibility of much higher tonnages from patrols FROM the DECK GUN, when the LST (and TDW's fire damage?) mod/s are used.

I use the gun. A lot. I shoot until the Engineer informs me, "We hit him! He is going down!" Now that this mod is in the mix, I will have to try using, say, half the expected number of shots, then withdraw and observe the effects of fire and flood. If things go as they might, I may end up nearly doubling the tonnage. What do you skippers think?
