Can a single bubble sink a ship?
D. A. May, J. J. Monaghan, 2003. American Journal of Physics 71(9): 842–849.
Experiments and smoothed-particle simulations of a large gas bubble rising under a floating body, motivated by methane hydrate hazards in the North Sea. Identifies conditions under which a hull of similar scale to the bubble's curvature sinks.
What it's used for here
The peer-reviewed basis for the methane-eruption mechanism, which says nothing about how often it happens.
