I feel your pain, Im afraid its the same bug as stock, when in shallow waters you somtimes need to destroy the ship outright, SH3 has two mechanisms in place that determine weather a ship is 'sunk' the first is from flooding, when the ship submerges its considered destroyed, but in shallow waters they dont sink properly and thus rely on the second mechanism, which is when the ship loses all of its 'hit points' and explodes.
It will often take 4 or 5 hits to destroy a battleship in this way, unless you strike a magazine or fuel tank.

So in your situation it sounds like you are pretty stuck if you cant get any impact torpedos to detonate.
