It's certainly not a coincidence how only those two were left to reserve. There likely were some signs that Bunker Hill and Franklin could have had hard to detect damages from the heavy shocks the blasts caused. Some other ships had such, but they only caused problems in high speeds and could go worse in a prolonged service.
