My view is that the last hull box is "beyond economic repair", not
vaporized.  It's not like wet navy where you take X damage, then sink. 
If
it were ever of sufficient interest, I'd say perhaps "if it takes
another
row of damage after the last one, it's small bits of scrap--if it takes
two
rows of overkill, it's vapor and slag."
