That's incorrect, the reason you're forced to retreat at red was because people were abusing the fact that flagships cannot sink to clear maps/farm resources.

While I can't say with certainty whether or not the flagship of the second fleet can sink, I'm leaning towards no. I've taken a Maruyu (equipped with damage repair) through E-4 and she was heavily damaged by the second node (1/7 HP), targeted once during the third node and twice more at the fourth and final node, none of which "sunk" her.
