How much damage can disable a surface raider?

Is the amount of damage the decisive issue for a surface raider?

The systems damaged matter as well as the visible size of the damage. Losing fresh-water production or accumulating shock damage can seriously restrict operations.

Any damage can create operational problems, but the size of visible holes gives an incomplete picture. Damage to fresh-water production can seriously reduce a ship's ability to operate. Admiral Graf Spee provides the example of that vulnerability. Shock damage and the cumulative effects on machinery also need to be considered.
