You got to remember even tho you can't see them... the ships have crews on them too .. If you get a ship on fire and just follow it , sooner or later the fire will be put out ,,, same as for a crippled ship.. they might not get it repaired new again without dry dock , but the crew will try to patch a hole good enough to limp to a port someplace.
I have torpedoed a C2 and just waited hoping it would sink since it was last one I had to fire at it . It went dead in the water with a slight list to port side , .. I could hear banging , metal scraping and a few other weird noise's comming from it and after about a 1/2 hour it took off at 4 knots doing its zig zag bit and dissappeared .
