Hi to all
Hope it's the right forum to ask and that someone can answer this:
As per documentaries, BBs Bismark and Yamato -and other warships-capsized when/before/during they sank.
But the Passenger Liner Titanic, and most other civil ships, started to sink with either the bow or the stern before they went down.
Why this?
I do realise that the kind of damage below the waterline has an influence on this, but still it seems that every military ship capsized, while others sank stern/bow ahead.
And question no. 2: (just asking coz i'd like to know wether the naval pc games are accurate)
How many torps does it take to sink a DD, CL, CA, CV, BC, BB; and how long until it goes down?
Looking forward to yours comments.
Wish you all the best for the coming week. Take care.
