Well not so much, if I recall correctly, they had less ships than NATO so decided that their ships would have to operate better by themselves and thus be armed way more than an equivalent NATO ship would be. I suppose all ships are glass cannons before the weaponry - have to meta tank the hits as in, don't get hit rather than shrug it off like a battleship. Sort of curious how an Iowa class or something would take Harpoon hits, hm, will have to look that up.
