I just put 5-6 shells into a small freighter and he is burning pretty good. The shots were from long distance so I'm pretty sure I didn't hit the water line.

Question is, will he continue to sustain damage while he is burning? I had to submerge (out of torps) due to a flower, but he is still moving full steam. But still burning pretty good. Or is the fire just for show? I'm guessing the fire will go out eventually?
