Again - don't jump to conclusions.
The screen is there for the purpose of making it impossible for a camera at distance to make out enough detail to know for sure.

Well look at the deck, there is more deck left than keel. Either the explosion was internal and
down or external and
up. Most explosions would go up since the surrounding water would focus the blast that way.
Reminds me of the damage to the Sam Roberts where the ship was held together by the deck after a mine blast to her keel.

What bow? do you mean the front of the wreck pictured? That is the center of the ship just aft of the funnel.
