The Nisshin Maru had a gaping hole several meters wide on its hull, and as more and more seawater flooded into the cabins, the ship sank faster and faster. Its bow was already tilting upwards—it would probably be completely submerged within ten to twenty minutes.
As for the First Kawatama Maru, although its stern took two torpedoes, the destructive power of the 324mm light torpedoes was incomparable to that of the 533mm heavy torpedoes. Even if the Nisshin Maru sank, the First Kawatama Maru might not necessarily go down.
