>The fire aboard Khartoum broke out 5 and a half hours after the sinking of the Torcelli. Toricelli was sunk at 0624 local time by R.N. destroyers HMS Kingston, HMS Kandahar and Khartoum as well as the sloop HMS Shoreham. The fire aboard Khartoum started at 1150. A torpedo air flask exploded propelling the warhead through the deck house of number 3 4.7\" mount. A ruptured oil tank for the mount started the fire which led eventually to the loss of the ship. Her loss seems more due to inexperienced damage control. The Admiralty inquest ruled out damage from enemy action and sabotage but captured members of the Toricelli\'s crew were housed aboard.
>Написано же, что пожар возник через 5 часов после гибели ПЛ. Или возникают сомнения в том, что англичане решили подтасовать факты?
насколько я понял из текста, чп с воздушным баллоном произошло из-за недостора экипажа за повреждениями, полученными в результате боя
