Here's a video from the bbc site of the latest attempt to salvage the stricken SS Napoli, by separating it in two with explosive charges. I could do a much better job with a single torp :). Still goes to show how much gunishment these ships can take

They're doing it because the ship was to fragile to move in it's current state :ping:
