The thing with NSM, particuarlly with deck shells, is you have to HIT BELOW THE WATERLINE.

With NSM you sink by flooding. Not Hit point loss. You could fire 1000 shells into a merchant and it won't sink if its above the waterline.

Also if a ship rolls, and the torpedod area rises above the waterline, it too, will stop flooding.
