Ships sinking time

This weekend I watch a Discovery Channel program of the dismantling and sinking the the 'BIG O' off the coast of Florida. The crews cut holes for the water to come into the aircraft carrier. The bilges that run the outside of the hull were filled with water. They used explosive from stern to bow to blow the covered holes to the sea. Everything was set up to make this ship sink.....my point is, it took 37 minutes for the carrier to sink.....................so you SH3 players who complain that GW makes the sink time of ships unrealistic I say they are realistic. Here we have an aircraft carrier that is cut up, blown up and set in every way to sink like a rock and it took 37 minutes to sink.

What say you?
