She eventually sank, 40 minutes after I put a third torpedo in her. Without the third one, I doubt she would've sank. The time I fired that third torpedo was about 2 hours after the first two hits (first I had to evade destoryers and then catch up with the Nelson), and her condition hadn't changed much since the very beginning.

If the destroyers had stayed in the area, I couldn't have caught up with the Nelson under water (they would've heard me), and would have been forced to surface and take a long trip around the ships for the final shot.
