Default Spaceship Hit Points"

I'm attempting to run a Vorkosigan campaign. In designing the spaceships, apparently I'm missing something, as the only mention of hit points is that they are decade value from the listing as basic dST/HP in the Hull Size Table. The examples- the Ariel, et al only list this value as a part of the statistics table. The Ariel, as a light cruiser, is listed as dHP=100. This seems VERY low for a warship, particularly given the listed beam weapon and missile damages.

There is apparently an implication that this dHP figure is applied to each of the 20 "systems" in the starship design. Is this correct?

I've also run across a reference to cHP where each cHP=10dHP=100HP -which implies a need for massive number reduction, and also implies a very high HP for some starships.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, night-hunter.
