Is the GWX2 armed trawler invincible???

I really like the new accurate model of the armed trawler and the sound for the motor is great. I added them to early convoys in the RND.mis file where they in fact did serve and changed their crew rating to 4 so they are effective with their limited AS equipment and deadly in any gun duel.
However, twice I have torpedoed them and once with a hole 20% the length of the ship it had no effect.
Last night I torpedoed another (set depth at almost surface and impact detonator) and this time it did cripple her but while on fire stem to stern she is still active with guns and lights.
I am pretty sure since I sink destroyers and frigates with a decent fish hit a trawler would be blown to bits by a torpedo so was mentioning it for someone to look at unless it was intended to make them equal to a light cruiser in ability to absorb punishment!!!!
