I seem to recall Lusankya demonstrated a considerable lack of durability when Wedge/Rogue Squadron captured it from Isard in the first place! On the other hand, Mon Remonda was also surprisingly durable when up against Iron Fist..
That...has bugged me a lot now that you mention it...Iron Fist alone should have been a match for Solo's fleet but with 3 vessels against it it's forced to retreat? The Lusankya situation was a bit more understandable as Wedge designed tactics specifically to hurt an SSD(Snubs and insane amounts of Proton Torps)

Executor, Iron Fist and Knight Hammer were all defeated by a small number of Rebels.Durability of SSDs is a consistently inconsistent feature in the Star Wars universe.

Yes, and the Empire would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those Pesky Rogues and their Wedge Too!!!

Still, the fact that he managed to retreat with the Lusankya stands for something, especially given the 6 Interdictors the Remnant had.

Agreed, though Pellaeon did a great job of luring him into that situation. Also while I harp on Ackbar I will give him some credit, his battle with Krennal above Ciutric IV was actually very well run.

I chose him for his adaptability and creativity. He practically revolutionized small unit tactics, snubfighter techniques and then applied those to capital ships successfully.
