Be my guest and try it out.

That aside, if you know why the "auto-retreat" was created, you'd know that by reason what I am saying is very likely true. I shall spell it out for you (and the sake of any others who might be curious):

1. Any ship in severe damage can sink in the following battle (not night battle). This, you know already.

2. If your flagship gets into the red, you are forced to retreat. Why? Because otherwise it'd sink in the next battle, thus you can't proceed, otherwise it would sink. Any other ship is fine because sinking it is no problem technically. Thus, a flagship "can't sink". It actually can, if you find a way to get to the next battle on red.

3. Therefore, this clearly shows that ANY ship WILL sink if you move on to the next battle while severely damage. ANY SHIP. Including flagships (but they're stopped by forcing you to retreat.

4. So, for the escort fleet, if you're not forced to retreat while on severe damage..... you should understand what will happen by now.
