Once I hit a ship with torpedos and cause damage and then leave the area will the game continue to flood the ship and allow it to sink if enough damage was done or is it necessary to stay in the area until the sinking is complete?

I ask because I hit a Large Modern Tanker with my last two torps in the back end and it came to a stop. I waited around for the DD to leave so I could surface and finish it with my deck gun, however after 5 hours the DD was still there when the tanker finally went under. So, if I had left the area and continued my patrol would this ship still have sunk?
