Especially if it's a ship that's big enough to be worth the expense of two eels anyway... fire them both on impact, one misses, the one that tears a hole in the side of the hull may not be enough to sink her.

But fire them both on magnetic, one's a miss/dud/preemie, and one blows up right under the keel - it's very likely that she goes down just from that without no additional 'assistance.'
