In article , Dan Caster says...

As I remember the record for sinking a destroyer ( not destoyer escort
) in WWII was something like 10 seconds. A Japanese torpedo hit the
destroyer between the forward engine room and the aft boiler room, and
the whole ship was underwater in the ten seconds.

Actually I was going to say, those photos did look impressive,
but then I suspect that the same scenario played out about
a thousand or so times during ww2. Bang, blub.
