I tried this mod today and found myself thoroughly impressed and over-joyed as I sunk a med sized 4k ton merchant.

2 fish hit, one dead center, the other just ahead of the bridge. The ship slowed a bit from the hits, then turned away and poured on the coals in an attempt to evade. I surfaced and put a few not so well place deck gun rounds in her. Shortly afterward two life boats appeared as the ship lost its head way and began to list noticibly. I used a few more better placed eck gun rounds to spread the love around and slowly watched her tak eon more and water. The sinking took about 30 to happen after the went dead in the water. A small fire on the stern might have helped her along. Anyay, once she started to reach the brink of no return, you could see here ability to float rapidly deminish in the last few minutes.

It finally made sining feel a bit more realistic...great job!
