Default A Granville's Titanic Demise

I planted an eel in the sweet spot, just under the keel , aft of the forward crane. She eventually slowed and stopped as expected. As her bow slipped under and I yelled "She's Going Down!", the aft end began to rise out of the water.

Screw and rudder fully exposed, I expected her to slip under, but at that moment, she broke in two. The stern slammed back into the water and floated for a good two minutes before resuming the plunge.

First time I've seen that in GWX.
