Re:Small ships

Wasn't it Douglas Fairbanks Jr, who spanked a couple of German
destroyers
in his PT boat during WWII?  I believe he sank one and had the other one
in
distress.  We know what happens when a mass 2 (or 4) ship encounters 2
mass
14 enemy ships in Full Thrust!	

However, can we argue that an escort class ship is significantly more
difficult to hit at tens of thousands kilometers away than a capital
ship?
I think not.
