In my experience, merchant vessels very rarely turn upside down as they tend to go down aft first, but warships do that more often. I have seen it a few times

Another video of battleship capzising, the Szent István of Austro-Hungarian Navy during WWI. The camera is close enough that you can see me running on her deck as she turns over.

She sunk easily due to faults in the Tegetthoff class design (low tonnage displacement and high centre of gravity versus the tremendous weight of 12 × 12 inch (305 mm) main artillery). There were only 89 dead, partly attributed to the fact that all sailors with SMS had to learn to swim before entering active service.
