I witnessed something similar on the training mission. On the way back to Kiel I stumbled upon a lone merchant, and I just wanted to see how the "salvo" shot worked. So I lined up on him, set the shot for salvo and fired.
Man, all four torps hit each in succesion, and that ship just went apart like I've never before seen in any previous sinkings in SH3.
Then just to see I went to external view and raced to the sinking, broke in half ship. Was in somewhat shallow water probably about 20-30m so it didnt take long to hit bottom. Well the stern half sank stern up, while the bow half landed on it's bottom.
But the stern half hit, then plunged right through the sea floor, and disappeared.
The fore half remained though, just lying there.

It's possible that thats what happened with yours, and by plunging through the sea floor, it then cycled back into the world from above.
Just a geuss.
