Yup, that would be it (except the slim possibility of running into a mine, but who would put mines in vinicity of Kiel before the war even started?). I'm sure I didn't ram anything (the ship I turned towards was still a dot on horizon after it happened, and since I didn't use time compression until I completed the turn, I'm also sure I didn't ram the sinking one). But being damaged by explosion seems more likely (I think I was about 600-700 meters from my last target) though I assumed that if the initial "huge" explosion did no harm to me, secondary explosions while the sinking ship is already underwater would also be safe. Well, wrong assumption.
So, how far from exploding enemy is considered safe?
