Explanation

Scuttle means to deliberately sink a ship, specifically by making holes in its hull or opening its sea-cock valves. This can be done to prevent capture by an enemy, to dispose of a vessel, or as an act of sabotage. The term specifically refers to this intentional sinking action, not general piercing or hollowness.
