Could Minamoto no Tametomo sink a ship with one arrow?

Could Minamoto no Tametomo really have sunk a Taira ship with a single arrow during the Hogen Rebellion?

Not by piercing and flooding the hull with an ordinary arrow; any plausible version needs fire, loss of steering, wrecking, or another indirect cause.

The story credits the famed archer Minamoto no Tametomo with sinking a Taira ship during the Hogen Rebellion. The panel argues that an ordinary arrow cannot open a hull breach large enough to sink a ship directly. A fire arrow or a shot that killed the helmsman and sent the vessel onto rocks offers a more plausible indirect chain, while an unusually heavy bolt would no longer be an ordinary arrow. The watch point separates the historical tradition from a literal claim about the projectile's physical effect.
