That's a lot of hull to burn through while keeping shields intact. :D  But yes, you keep the shields. Same with focuses, locks, conditions, etc. The reason is Tel's ability happens instead of being destroyed, so no tokens, cards, etc are removed from the ship except for the damage cards (which are specified by the ability).

So if you're fighting a Proton Bomb-happy Resistance Bomber and it slays Tel with shields remaining, he comes back with a lot of HP to spare right as that bomber has run out of proton bombs. >:)
