I listened to a programme on this on Radio 4 t'other day in which some of the crews were interviewed. They didn't want to sink the thing before burning off the remaining oil, so the aim was to put bombs through the upper deck that would detonate before the putting a hole in the bottom that'd let more oil out. As such, failing to sink her was a spectacular success...
