Spanish rescue units responded and found the ship heavily tilted. The captain claimed mechanical failure, but hull damage showed signs of an external strike consistent with a supercavitating torpedo

Kinda just left that hanging out there.

I feel like that bit was obvious from the headline. Imperial "Ghost ship" with nuclear parts for other authoritarian regime sinks. No way it was an accident or we probably wouldn't have heard about it.
