"It got t-boned."
What does that mean?

[Chgogal]

The ship got rammed on its side, in this case the starboard side, right side when looking forward.

The bones represent the relative positions of the ship when they collided. Simplified, the pointy end of the merchant ship hit the destroyer aproximately midships. Perhaps not straight on but at an angle.
