Small Tankers: strangely unsinkable

Yes, this small tankers are really hard to sink.Today I have hit one of this "Battleship" small tankers near Dover with the last TI torpedo of my IID.
That was one good hit in the aft section between the bridge and the stern, usually there is the machine room and boilers in the tankers. Well, the tanker was complete ablaze; stop the machine and go to the bottom to wait his sink(there were some PT boats and trawlers near).Accelerated time, coffee,and checking several times with exterior view, the guy was always there, unsinkable,burning and floating very happy, two hours, three hours...ufff.Nothing to do, and finally decided to sail back to Kiel.
