If Kitakami had died there we would probably have seen at least a sink scene/line. Also it didn't really seems to me that was supposed to shown her getting hit but just showing a big explosion to show how dire their situation is. It also seemed to me that she wasn't really having a hard time, and wanted Ooi help at that moment, in avoiding torpedoes incoming to her, but rather trying to destroy the torpedoes that were targeting the carriers, as their escort.
