though IRL, the armor won't mean much if its a torpedo hit XD

coping with a torpedo hit is a different story than your regular bombing or shelling damage. all ships hit with a torpedo will certainly get holes, armored or not.

locking certain affected compartments and draining the flood are the main steps to flood management. if they failed this, then yes a single torpedo hit can sink any ship.
