I read an account of a ship torped off of nc coast during ww1-ship broke in two and stern section sank--but crew survived by staying on bow section which stayed afloat -believe it was for a day and a half- before the bow section finally washed up on the beach

In that regard--nuke proof could be considered reasonable .

In unusual and isolated cases yes indeed. For most cases sinking times should be under two hours.
