No, the photos were simply to illustrate the way in which a Mark 48 torpedo is used to attack any ship.
On the other hand I see no logical reason that a Mark 48 would not be able to break the Keel of a Battle Ship, its 45,000 tons would work against it.

You may be right. Thick steel hull, heavy keel, large mass and solid construction would react the same to the blast as aluminum hull, minimal mass and light weight construction.
I bow to your superior ignorance wisdom.
