I guess they weren't fired from a "Calculated angle of approach"

The USS Wainright, unmanned, as part of a SinkEx took 2 poons. She was sunk the next day with torpedos

The Oiler Ashtabula took 8 poons during her SinkEx.
You are stating that a floating targetship that has zero systems running, no fuel (green as we are ) no armament onboard nor other materials (remember we want to be green now ) flammable or not and no crew can mimick what would happen to a lightly armored (and I do stress LIGHTLY ARMORED) fully loaded atomic powered missle cruiser that is laiden with fuel,nuclear reactors and a shopping list of missles, crew and the like plus helo's and helo fuel is going to react in any way shape or form close to being such a target ship?

For shame Grape I know you are smarter then that.
