Well the turret itself was pretty much trashed. No surprise there, the explosion came from within.
Fast, efficient damage control and a LOT of bravery prevented an even larger tragedy. AFAIK, because of this, the rest of the ship was damaged not a whit.
If she would have been in a warzone, she could have carried on with her mission.
I would like to have seen a "modern" ship shrug off the same internal explosion.
