Since homu pretty much answer your Ariel attack question I just wanted to add to your second question.

Your Ship will sink IF AND ONLY IF your kanmusu's status is at "Critical Damage" (a RED letter will show up next to your Kanmusu's tile) and you decided to proceed on to the next node. Transition from day battle to night battle will not sink your ship as it is counted as one battle. For example:

If you have 6 sortied ship and on the boss before the boss your status is like this:

1 Full heath ship, 2 Minor damage ship (yellow letter), 2 (Moderate damage ship (Orange letter) and 1 Critical Damage ship (Red letter)

The full health, minor and moderate damage are safe from sinking even if you proceed on and will only be reduced to 1 hp no matter how much damages they took. HOWEVER, the critical damaged one CAN SINK and will reach 0 hp. If you decided to transit to night battle after that it will still be the same with only the critical damaged one having chance of sinking.

Bottom line is, if your ship reaches red NEVER push forward. Boss node should be the only node that you go full force (Maybe Line ahead/double line and transit to night battle) with no risk.
