For people that reading this later,

OP is empathizing the overkill protection mechanism. Which will indeed give worse results with higher # of HP (given during marriage). This negative effect can be fine-tuned with DE-modernization. [|further reading on overkill protection mechanism]

However, when this mechanism does not trigger, marriage only gives positive benefits. Including increased hp (as a buffer), luck, level (accuracy, evasion, line of sight, critical rate, and ASW on inherent ASW stat enabled ships). These stats although mostly scale with a diminishing return, does improve on the ship's both survivability and damage capability.

It is impossible to determine all the different situation your shipgirl may face and what stats may be applicable. It is my opinion that for the most part, especially in higher leveled ship girls a ring will improve their combat effectiveness.
