She took all those torpedoes despite systematic problems in her underwater protection - bad welds, excessively 'brittle' design, gaps between the torpedo bulkheads and main belt, and so on.I have to wonder about their damage control parties training though. That has always been a problem for the IJN.
So yeah. Given what we've seen the starship Yamato's hull take without shearing something critical, I don't have any trouble believing she'd be combat ready in the space of the 'lull' in the Pluto fight.
