Default Major Ships sinking due to storm

i encountered a small convoy with two Heian Marus and a two or three-stack troopship along with the usual escorts during storm conditions (wind=13 km/s)

as we were setting up for a shot first one and then the other Heian went down.
we were way up north and there was no US CVA air activity. i confirmed this by watching via the external camera.

we went on to sink the troopship and later, during the hunt for us, one of the DD's went down.

i can understand the loss of the DD under these conditions but are major ships, such as Heian Maru, expected to sink during a storm?

First occurrence. Two ships north of our position were the storm casualties.


Second occurrence.
