Nope. That's the right HP value, and it's for the entire ship (not for each system). And yes, this does mean that ships get destroyed in one or two hits and can't slug it out. Check out
this thread for a big discussion as to why those HP values were given and the desire to 'fix' them, making larger vehicles more survivable.
