Space-based black hole weapon effects

For the fluff of my story one of the space-ships is equipped with what I hope is one of the biggest F-you weapons in ship-to-ship combat: a miniature black hole launcher.

The launcher fires a whopping 329 metric tons heavy black hole, which is tiny compared to any other black hole. Hawking radiation causes this black hole to evaporate in a mere 3 seconds, causing a violent burst of radiation in that time. To maximize the effect an unobtanium machine prevents the black hole from evaporating until it reaches the enemy ship.

The question is: what would happen when it activates and moves through the enemy vessle?

My idea was as follows: it activates close to the target and starts releasing its energy. In space this explosion of 3.28×10^15 MW does relatively little as it has plenty of directions to go. Then the black hole enters the outer layer of the enemy ship. The black hole event horizon is smaller than the molecules around it and expells so much energy that nothing is absorbed, but it does force everything apart as the equivalent of a nuclear bomb explosion eminates from inside the hull material. Then the black hole starts passing through bulkheads and passage ways inside the ship, tearing holes and burning the air, men and materials to cinders as it does. A well aimed shot is virtually unstoppable and unless your ship is able to handle an atomic bomb detonating inside the hull it is scrap metal.

Is that a correct assumption?
