"Some soulless blip on the radar"? She does realize that at that range, radar will get blocked by the horizon and you're going to need aircraft on scene to guide the projectile in?
This is regarding Hood mistaking Prinz Eugen for Bismarck. This actually happened at the Battle of the Denmark Strait, and what I was referencing here. This is why Hood looks away in that panel (several of the folks on reddit caught this.) Hood's in-game quotes reference this is well.
I've been a very serious student of WWII history for a long, long time and nothing makes me happier than after adding an obscure (to the casual) tidbit of historical truth to my work here and within seconds of posting a new comic, several folks post replies with "I know what that is!" Good stuff.
Then again, Hood may be a little biased due to some memories of getting an incredibly unlucky hit in a critical area that made her go boom.

Chernobyl was using a flawed reactor and one can look to SEVERAL other examples of Nuclear power that did not explode (the reactors aboard the russian submarine Kursk being a perfect example.)
Most reactors in a military setting are built with the intent to make them manageable in the event of damage or possible melt down, or so I would hope
