[Star Wars] Could a big enough fleet defeat the death star through conventional means?

So for argument's sake let's say that you had a massive fleet and you attacked the death star with it. Could you in theory destroy it simply by hammering at it with enough firepower or is it just too big? 

EDIT: Also, I would like to remind the people in this thread that only the second death star could target ships with it's superlaser.

Yes. It's big, but only a few hundred miles wide. A dozen star destroyers can glass planets in a few hours, so it's possible. Shields in star wars also don't seem to eliminate all damage, just greatly reduce it. If they concentrated on a single point, it could go down.

However, the death Star would be fighting back and single ignitions would destroy any star destroyer in one shot, shields or no shields. It can do this every few minutes. Plus, with the fleet concentrated on a single point, damage from one ship exploding would likely effect other ships. Lastly, the death Star can escape into hyperspace if worried.
