SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - SPlitting ships in 2

The most dramatic submarine torpedo hit on a battleship I can think of is the HMS Barham's demise from a salvo launched from the U-336. But she rolled on her port side and capsized first. A Royal Navy Court of Enquiry ascribed the ship's final magazine explosion to the detonation en masse of 4-inch anti-aircraft ammunition stored in wing passages adjacent to the main magazines, which would have detonated the contents of the main magazines.
