This article you posted the other day does a good job of explaining the possible cause of the sinking as North Korean suicide attack squads.
NK has semi-submersible vessels that can carry two bombers and either two torpedoes or two floating mines.
Very enlightening article...

If Ronald Reagan were still in office, the base where these mini-subs, and every other NoKo base that housed any kind of submarine, would be large smoking holes in the ground, because it is clear that the NoKos cannot be trusted with those kinds of weapons and devices, and President Reagan knew how to petty dictators like Kim.
Could be the ChiComs? Maybe they got that oil rig too.
