Could have also been pure dumb luck. If they don't see you, or hear you on sonar (which is unlikely to happen early war with them at high speeds and you very quiet), they may have just accidentally rammed you.

If they never detected you, then I don't think the AI will react to a ramming. Do remember, they do like to beach themselves, and then try to continue on at high throttle by trying to grow wheels.

Cpatain: "Dinsdale! What was that noise!?"

Dinsdale: "Oh probably just a squirrel, Captain!"

They could have also damaged their rudder in the collision. I have seen merchants just circle until I sank them because I had knocked off their rudder earlier.
