You do know that the hull of an average ocean liner has to be about the same thickness or thicker of tank armor just to take the pounding you get at sea in some places around the world and the east coast of Africa is one of them. currents and prevailing winds going in opposite directions can produce waves of a poer that will make an RPG seem like a door knocker and most of the newer ships are double hulled anyway. That's why I said much of anything above 200 tons is pretty much RPG proof.
One of the reasons RPGs works so well on tanks is because the space inside is so confined that the crew gets killed. That isn't happening with a Container ship. An RPG, depending on which one, puts a hole in a tank the size of your fist. That won't come close to sinking a 50k ton cargo ship any time soon if at all.
