So, I tried it out and constructed a large "unsinkable" BB and a smaller 5" CL. These two types (or, to be honest, two of those cruisers) then were pitted against each other in a fleet exercise. However, the CLs were on the "friendly" side, since I assumed that the AI would rather try to get the CLs into safety instead of pressing hard to sink the BB.
But actually I doubt whether it's really a surprise that this behemoth could actually be sunk only by 5" shells. The battle log for the sunk BB indeed reads:

So, I guess it's these fore/aft hull hits that cause the flooding, maybe also the BE hits - which sounds perfectly plausible. But it's a pity that such logs only tell us us when flooding is limited instead of when it occurs in first place. I'll try this again with me having that BB and watching it carefully, maybe even writing down the flooding for every minute or so.
:EDIT: I tried this again, this time with the BB on my side, and I could observe that events like "Superstructure hit * DE* Hull damaged by splinters" appear to play a significant part in this and also might cause flooding. On the other hand, those typical "Fore/aft hull hit *" and "Hull hit BE *" events do not necessarily add flooding, but always take away a small fraction of the total flotation. Note also that those steady superstructure hits obviously cause structural damage and thus continuously degrade the ship's abilities to limit flooding if it should occur. Once again, it seems that it's not that easy and just thinking of the AON citadel as a kind of life insurance against all guns for whose caliber the armor is technically impenetrable is a really naive notion.
