I have seen that, and been the 1 doing the damage, using a stock NSL
Heavy 
Cruiser, killed a FSE Battleship (Mint) in 1 turn, Cascading 6 are your
friend...
Next turn took on a FSE Heavy Cruiser and Crippled it.

Turn after that, for some reason, all remaining FSE ships with range
opened 
up on the Heavy Cruiser, and ripped it apart.

So it does happen.
And I've done it more the once like that.
