Sorry to hear about the lost tonnage.
I've only played 1 hour, if that. Rest of my time is going into modding at the moment.
Currently looking at the bigger warships, as a side-project trying to figure out how to get them to capsize, and thinking of ways to get them to stop when damaged.
Also on the to-do list is checking properties as represented in the recognition manual (raked bow vs plumb bow, for example). I think the filters don't work properly, should be able to fix that.
