Video Shows Two Men Firing RPGs At Ship Transiting Suez Canal -- Reuters
CAIRO (Reuters) - A video posted on YouTube and circulated on Thursday shows two men firing rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) at a container ship that was attacked on Saturday in the Suez Canal.
Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the video and there were no claims of responsibility for the attack on Islamist websites.
The video carries a logo featuring a black Islamist flag and the name of the "al-Firqan Brigade". It shows two men, dressed in civilian clothes, firing RPGs into the side of the ship, where they explode.

During WW2, U-Boats would sometimes have to torpedo cargo ships several times, just to get a confirmed sink.
Other merchant boats have been known to survive one or two torpedo attacks and still manage to carry on, mostly due to effective damage control.
Somehow, I very much doubt that RPG's are going to be a real danger to these ships. Still a danger, just not a very effective one.
