the Matrix forums mention that DDs and maybe CLs can take a nasty beating from shore batteries. So what I have started to do against some places is pull the lighter ships out of the TF the day before a bombarment strike happens. I then reattach these ships to the TF for the trip home. A little gamey, but you pretty much have to do it unless you want to see tin cans sink.
