Actually it depends on random chance really. Sometimes it dies and sometimes it survives. This has been argued several times. In fact almost every mention of the ship devolves into a debate about whether it survives or not.
Do a search if you're interested and let's end this debate here for once
There's an invunerable-when-hits-fall-below sexp setup on the Phoenica. It survived.
PVD Pinnacle, Typhon: Survived. The Vasudan equivalent of the Galatea, apparently: best or nearly the best destroyer in the PVN, it features in multiple FS1 missions.
PVD (HLD?) Prophecy, Typhon: Survived, probably. Hammer of Light destroyer that blocks the Delta Serpentis-Sol node as you're trying to catch up to the Lucifer. Some people like to take it down for skill points...but it's a colossal waste of ammo and time, all things considered.
PVD Hope, Typhon: Survived. Secured the jump node cluster in Alpha Centauri, with the assistance of the PVC Mecross and two wings from the GTD Galatea.
