The other thing that often sinks ships is storms and weather. I'm not totally an expert on the RFB model, but I think while it does model slow flooding, it limits it to a certain extent - that is, the ship will flood a certain amount after you damage it, and then it'll stop flooding until it takes more damage. However, things like weather (i.e. waves washing over the deck) will often damage it more and force it to take more flooding. So if you're in calm weather, once you no longer see the ship's waterline changing and you don't get the "ship sunk" message, chances are it will not sink. If you are in rough weather, there is a chance it will still sink, but it's fairly small.
