The modern version is the single-wide “mobile home”.
It’s much longer on the inside.
I wonder if Will Navidson ever investigated that – it seems just up his (five and a half minute) alley.
But was it target practice, or an obligation to reduce armament?
The US was obligated to get rid of some stuff after WWI. There was a treaty, and it definitely included submarines.
So while it probably was sunk by target practice, it was deliberate act to sink it.

I’m sure they got more fun out of shooting at it than if they just pulled the plug and let it sink.
You’ve just pretty much described the sinking of the Bismarck: Brits at the time thought their torpedoes sank her… yet latest wreck dives indicate the Germans had actually scuttled her.
The standard is breadbox, not your house.
