You know what sailors say about renaming a ship ...
It’s possible that more people were killed in the explosion than were lost when the ship sank. Whether it was a missile or the onboard munitions went up on their own (it was a missile), a blast that could sink a ship of that size would have taken more than a few sailors with it.
