Invincible Fubuki class DD

Last night I ambushed a Japanese comvoy in the South China Sea between Singapore and Borneo. The lead escort was Fubuki class DD and I hit it with one torp (impact, midship) which started a fire. The DD also came to a dead stop.

I then went on to sink a couple of merchants. However the DD managed to get underway again and I hit it once more with a down-the-throat shot which exploded under the keel. More fires started.

I was eventually forced away by another escort, but the damaged DD was steaming along quite fine, albeit on fire.

My SH3 experience tells me that 2 hits should be enough to sink, or at least cripple, any DD. However the DD was able to make 30 kts whilst damaged.

Is this normal? A bug?

Running TM 175 + RSRDC only. Only other mod is Environment 2.0 (graphics only I suppose, so it shouldn't affect gameplay).
