@harrysmith1070 and yep probably so, but since we're playing the 'what if' game already haha? would a much bigger and more heavily-armoured ship like that actually BE affected the same way? Affected like a Type 42 or Type 21 or even something like Belgrano would be, all substantially smaller and thinner-skinned ships, regardless of age? HMS Hood after all, even WITHOUT that refit Drachinifels was talking about and despite what happened to her against Bismarck, was no mere escort or light cruiser but a full-on full-size wartime BATTLECRUISER, a warship DESIGNED to take heavy-calibre surface-to-surface hits in full-on naval battles with other capital ships, in a way no modern destroyer or frigate would be. Is an interesting question isn't it, sure she wasn't designed to take hits from an Excocet (or ANY anti-ship missiles for that matter), but the Excocet wasn't designed to sink stuff like her either- and HMS Warspite was smaller, just as old and DID survive a direct hit by a Fritz-X missile in WW2
