Merchants/ Capital ships manouvre like sport cars

I think he means that some dude on an escort notices a torpedo, he shouts it to the bridge, there some guy grabs a mike and shouts it to the merchants.
The merchant captain hears the message, goes like "what the heck", is momentarily stunned and then shouts an order to the conn man, who is now shaking with fear and chooses the wrong side of "Fight or freeze". The captain takes over the conn and starts evasive manoevers.

So there should be like a 25 second lag between spotting and responding. Is what I think he means.
