Wrong. Your fleet can take *100kt* of damage before being hurt. Then you start loosing armor. Once you've taken 400kt of damage, you start loosing internal components. Your fleet isn't just one big ship!

GUTB,
Phoenix-D is right, unless you had your targeting options to have something odd like least damaged. Normally, I target ships with Has Weapons, Nearest (better to hit), Biggest (better to hit), Most Damaged. But you may want to go with Has Weapons, Most Damaged, Nearest, Biggest to make sure you keep working on a ship that has damaged armor so you do not spread the damage around.
With that strategy, a ship will be targetted until it cannot shoot any longer. Focus first on the ships that can harm you. Even if you lose, they have to pay maintenance on the crippled ones and your early hoard is not likeley to have any repair ships near by.
