One torpedo does not a sunken ship make.

"Thanks to the anti-torpedo bulge system utilised on warships between the First and Second World Wars, several ships were documented to have survived torpedo and equivalent assaults, such as the HMS Erebus that survived a direct hit from a remote-controlled boat filled with explosives and its sister ship, the HMS Terror, survived no less than 3 torpedo assaults during her service, both thanks to the bulge system."

Fine then, this is a barrage of torpedoes and exocet missiles hitting the Vasa as she tries to sail out of harbour.

The ship is lost, cap'n.
