The gas inside airships is at extremely low pressure so, whilst a large target, they're actually not as vulnerable as one might think.

- tsotha 15y agoThis is a good point. In WW I there was an AA shell that went off inside a German airship, and the ship was able to land safely. They really are quite resistant to damage.
