DiveFlap, the ships are taking damage, but no effect is visible, except maybe acks dying. What I think should be the case is that as ships get damaged there should be some lingering effects:
e.g.:
Ship lists (particularly for CVs, runways tilted upto 20-30 degrees, then no one can take off).
Ship slows down and cant keep up with the remaining carrier group.
When extremely damaged (or hit by torp/bomb) in engine section ship comes to a standstill. (If CV stalled, remaining ships will circle and escort it).
