Internal explosions from coal dust or magazines on ships normally result in a wreck in 2 or more pieces. Obviously U-boats are stronger, however the explosion has nowhere to go so I would expect similar damage. Look at the pics of the sinking of HMS Barham in the gallery, there wouldn't be much left of her middle now!
