Yes it does, cause the Moe is still sea worthy and combat capable, and the Bismark, well...a swordfish may have flopped on deck and tore it to shit.

Probably the main reason that these ships survived was because they were literally carpeted with 20 mm, 40 mm and 5" AA guns. After the war most of it was removed because the enemies that they were used against had no air power to speak of.
