Nope.
You will note that they were rather bigger bombs than 1000lbs....
Sinking of the Battleship Tirpitz
If it were easy to sink warships with 1000lb bombs, then we would go back to building armoured warships impenetrable to 1000lb bombs.
Designers are not stupid.
They have decided that the chances of somebody managing to get close enough to hit you with a bomb are small enough to make armour unnecessary.
