Maybe Duc can answer, but obviously it takes more work to get ships to sink in shallow water if the deck doesn't go under. I've had them sunk, but because they hit bottom and the decks still show above it seems to take more hit points to get enough damage to get a sunk message.
As for the flag, were talking decks below water, not mast.
