Obviously it's infeasible to armour against a nuke with reasonable weight   
   allowances, but what if we go heavy sci-fi and imagine ships that are several   
   kilometers in length?   
      
   Against something like a hiroshima level 15 kt nuke, would the ship be   
   reasonably protected from penetration of its hull if it had a skin of, say, 5   
   meters of solid tungsten?
