South Korean ship fires on a ship

You couldn't be more right Jim....

Apparently the vessel that fired shots was not the ship that sank, but rather another vessel on patrol in the roughly the same area. That explains why there are 50+ survivors given the water temps. Yet this removes the likelyhood of it being a live fire excercise accident. Still could be a catastrophic malfunction. The ship has not sunk completely, and it may in fact be extremely salvageable - if they can keep it from going all the way under. The fact its capsized though doesn't make that easy.
