The battle leaves a capital ship afloat after every round of 18-inch ammunition is recorded as destroyed. A detonation on that scale would also destroy the ship, so the remaining hull and hit points cannot be read as realistic survivability. The damage label exposes the gap between visible game damage and the physical consequences of a magazine explosion. It is a concise warning against accepting a simulation outcome without checking what its internal damage labels imply.

A game ship survives the loss of its entire 18-inch ammunition supply, exposing a basic limit in the simulation's damage model.
