No sir that is incorrect as well though it could be where the idea came from after how fast they saw it sink the battleship.
The correct answer is: Water Hammer!
When the planes first took off each of them was carrying no more than 2-thousand lbs of explosives. At 12:19pm they dropped their first bomb. The men were ordered not to bomb the ship directly but to score near misses on either side of the great battleship, creating a "water hammer" to collapse the "unsinkable vessel" the Ostfriesland.
