It is not certain whether or not a battleship breaks fast enough for a buccaneer to out damage them. Given that corsairs have over a 2m damage per minute lead on buccaneers it's not likely that buccaneers will out damage them. Ever.
Please stop assuming stuff and calm the pineapple down.
True, it may seem that they have over a 2m damage lead, but you cannot forget that that is with battleship. As stated, you'll be in battleship less than 50% of the time, as it will break fairly fast. At bosses like HT and Zakum, you take damage extremely fast, which would probably cause Battleship to break pretty soon. With being able to be in ST for a solid two minutes, chances are a Buccaneer could easily make up for the variance in damage between them and a Corsair.

Level 1 Battleship does just fine and has plenty of endurance by 16x+. 90 second cooldown is nothing compared to Bucc's 4 minute.
Besides, the strongest hit any boss can make to a Corsair is 1/1, as anything higher would just kill it.
Their HP isn't that high, and will most likely be near minimum to survive whichever boss. HT for example, would be a bit less than 8k with HB.
That post shows Lv1 Battleship having 64k HP already at 150.
There's enough calculations out there that show a huge favour for Corsairs with Cannon + Homing.
I don't pull my words out of my ass, so don't talk to me like I do.
64k HP, I see. I will also use your calculation of 8k HP. That means every time HT were to 1/1, you lose around 8k HP off the ship. For every other of it's attacks, you lose more damage. Say they attacks hit you for 5k. So another 5k off. Let's say you get hit 3 times, that's 15k off. In about 15 seconds, you've already lost about 25k HP. Now that's a lot, right? Battleship certainly is not a durable thing to use at a boss, and as stated by other users, you'll be in it less than 50% of the time at bossing.
Also, ST is NOT a 4 minute cooldown. After the skill is used, it's a 2 minute cooldown, which gives you time to use Barrage + DU combo, which is also very affective.
