Seems, Robo-Zuiun fell on the submarine, because it's the only rational explanation how it could get broken in two and at the same time with HMS Victory.

Colorado drop kicked Robo Zuiun MKII to the ground on the previous page, demolishing the Italian's bunker-table in the fall. These two probably just blew each other up - port-side cannons on the HMS and vertical-launch missiles from the sub.
How long would it take to make a wooden ship that size?
It mostly depends on your manpower and technology.
A lone company of ship builders using modern methods could probably produce a large galleon or ship-of-the-line in about 2 years, while an entire naval arm with thousands of ship techs working on a single ship and using prefabricated lumber could probably put a medium galleon together in just two days. That's also factoring out commissioning and designing the thing, which can take a whole extra year each at best.
Building a missile submarine or a modern battleship with steel armor takes much, much longer. The USS Iowa probably took over 4 years from blueprints to launch. The loss of a Typhoon-Class (replica) would be a far greater loss than an antique first-rate warship (replica) in terms of time and money.
Seeing both wreck at the same time would be a spectacularly awful sight though.

It's technically the truth, if you consider what's happening between Iowa and Yamato a practice bout...
There's a possibility that he might just assign Iowa to be Yamato's sparring partner after this, just to channel those 'kablooie' impulses in healthier ways.
I don't know what's going on here, but that's a catastrophe...!Hmm...Whaaa!?Because of this Admiral, this base is like this.Yep, yep!Fubuki.This is just an exceedingly real large-scale practice battle.Hey!Everyone's in high spirits today as always! That's just great!O... Okay?You got that?Go tell the higher-ups that.
