Actually, nukes don't go BANG when hit.  It takes a very precise 
detonation to make it go critical mass.  As for gutting a ship from a 
magazine hit, possible.  But you may very well see the same design for 
those magazines as is used in Abrams tanks where the magazine is 
designed to blow out and direct the detonation outside if it's 
compromised.  Still not great for the ship in question, but far from 
catastophic.

Luker mode re-engaged.....
