Critical damage is damage, just with additional effects attached. More specifically: critical damage assigns a damage card face up, while normal damage assigns it face down.

A ship with 3 hull and 2 facedown cards and 1 faceup card is destroyed. It could be destroyed with only 2 damage cards, if one of those cards is.
