Further to that a modern torpedo creates an explosion under the keel which causes a large "air bubble" to appear. The ship no longer has the bouyancy of the water to support it so it sags downwards into the bubble, breaking the keel in half. Microseconds after that the explosive force, transmited by the water which has rushed back into the void, pushes the ship upwards completing the destruction.
