if you were thinking the game wasn't letting you sink it because it was not your mission objective then no, the game doesn't work that way, anything you find, you can sink.
that said, the yamato class battleship (which I assume is what it was) can take as many as 10 or more torpedos to sink. also if torpedos are spaced with time between hits (several minutes or more of game time) then they need more torpedos to sink the ship (I assume to simulate damage control teams repairing damage on the ship) so these things are likely what you had going against you.
when you see fires break out the ship is close to sinking and it only needs one or two more torpedos to sink it at that point so you were very close to sinking her.
