I know that story. Wasn't one of them famous for being filled with empty cannisters or something that made it virtually unsinkable?
If that's the case it's no more of a "quirky incident" than Lusitania. However I agree there should be great variability in both resillience, AND the way ships sink. Honestly in my (albeit limited) RFB experience I saw none of that variability. Plus ships seem altogether "too alive" when heavily damaged (guns manned, ships zigzaging...).
