So I was just reading this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/der-fuhrer-battleship-converted-to-carrier.277260/ , about a proposed nearly-a-megaton battleship that carries Gustavs as its main armament, and has enough armour to shake off a 20" shell, a regular air-dropped bomb or a torpedo with no trouble.

So, assuming Germany somehow wins WW2 and builds this by the end of 1945, then the USN sails out to try to kill it, could it survive a strike of a single Hiroshima-level nuke? As in, if no other stuff comes to attack it, could it make it back to port to be repaired? That includes enough crew and engines surviving to get it back to some enlarged French or German port.
