I think people are missing that this is extreme exaggeration.
Not exactly, navy sonar has history of kills, but I haven't heard of something shattering into pink mess by that. Though military stuffs aren't always public.
Well now I don't know what to believe
It is not exaggeration, military sonars are no joke (hint they are powered by nuclear reactors) :
