This was hit near where I expected it to be based upon the reports. It likely suffered a catastrophic explosion later while it was getting towed near the main armament.

It looks to me like the hit was very much in the center midship. My guess is that they hit the engine room or fuel stores, although I could be wrong.

The missiles hit near the funnels which ae just abaft the Vulcan Anti-Ship missile tubes. I would not get all that excited over a nearly 50 year old obsolete surface combatant getting sunk like this. I know this all too well and am not surprised. This could just as easily happen to American or NATO ships should they get involved.
