A scuttle option is a must, I was sailing in the mid Atlantic when I saw torpedo bubbles. I pulled a hard to port, but was hit twice. One just aft of my third funnel and one hit my rudder.
Damage report was a starboard boiler out, mild list to starboard, down by stern and...NO RUDDER. Yes my rudder was gone, clean off. So I figured since I was pointed at Portugal I could just run aground there and that would be that. Well no, I was stuck in a hard to port turn. I just sailed in a ever widening circle until I ran out of fuel.

So a scuttle option is a must.
