Unlikely to sink anything - but only takes a few hits to the destroyers or a frigates superstructure and it's most likely out of the battle (maybe temporarily) or at least degraded.
There seems to be little general knowledge of how many ships actually were "most likely out of the battle (maybe temporarily) or at least degraded" by hits from UXBs. In my view, in addition to the bravery of the bomb disposal teams from all services, without the repair efforts of those onboard
MSV Stena Seaspread the outcome could have been an even closer run thing than it was.
