Just cruised past Dover in Aug 1939 and didn't see any problems.
Two possibilities I can think of:
1. As Jim said, massive unit drift.
2. Maybe the old 'neutrals hate each other' thing, where if a single round is fired by a unit and it hits a ship of the same nation they all go nuts and shoot each other into oblivion. The best example of this is the convoy attack exam - surface really close to one of the mechants, wait for an escort to fire and hit the merch and they'll all sink each other. This option is unlikely given that it is 1939 and before the war starts, but possible.
