She appears to have settled stern first after flooding aft, more weight from engines, generators and motors.
Bow is well out of the mud.

Agreed...her hull appears to be slightly buckled right at the impact point of the explosive, where the stern absorbed the force of the impact on the sea floor and bent upwards relative to the bow. This was probably a fairly slow ride to the bottom.
