I recently witnessed a ship sink almost vertically:



I believe it sank like this because there was one deep torpedo hit in the bow (a meter to port side and it would have missed).

I would think the capsizing would be more possible if the hit was exactly on the middle of the ship and almost at the edge of water line?
