The following FB1 ships have "enough armour" for the armour penetration
to be significant on average die rolls:

NAC: Vandenburg, Excalibur, Inflexible, Ark Royal
NSL: All except the Falke, possibly the Waldburg/M, and the Szent
Istvan and bigger
ESU: Warsaw, Beijing/B, Voroshilev

I believe there are at least 17 ships with "enough armour" in FB2 as
well :-/ 
 
If you roll a "6" just about any armour heavier than 1 box is enough
for the penetration to be significant, but you can't count on that all
the time <g>

Of course, against "most ships" the Sa'Vasku have quite a few other
weapon options <shrug>
