I think it was 1nm.
Honestly I can't remember if it was 1nm or 0nm though.

*edit*

After thinking hard about, the range WAS set for 0nm.

Logically, this is what SHOULD have happened if the range is set to 0nm for either an SS-N-27 ASW or an SS-N-16 Stallion:
The missile launches, travels to the ocean top, and flies straight up...reaching the peak of it's climb and starting back down again, releasing the Type 40/UMGT-1 torpedo in the approximate area of where it left the water.

Since this isn't what happened, there are only two explanations as to what really happened:

1. The SS-N-27 ASW missile casing lodged inside the external torpedo tube, and somehow the mechanism that triggers the release of the Type 40 torpedo was activated. With the casing stuck in the tube, the Type 40 launched directly from the missile casing.
This should have rendered the number 4 tube to be blocked with casing debris and unusable, but the indicator said EMPTY on the weapons control screen. =)

2. It's really a bug.
