Heres the problem. These 10mt nukes that detonated in space WILL NOT HAVE a shockwave.

At max, the most damage it can actually do is the fire-ball that comes out of it. The real area where the most damage that your nukes would actually deal is the point of detonation, and since you have 10 megaton nukes, your AoE is at 2 miles. And you said 10 10mt nukes. Nukes cannot combine, and they cannot fuse together, make the other individual blast radius's bigger, and the likes of that. Basically, what you really just did was just blow up one of your biggest war ship in a blatant attack that practically has no logic.

In otherwords, you just suicided one of your ships and got practically NOTHING out of it.

Another thing to mention-in space, theres no medium to propel a shockwave. Thats practically the ONLY THING that makes weapons like 10mt nukes devastating.
