I think they fired as the ship began to sink, ie: "she's going down". (it was the small tanker in the training mission) about 5 flares were fired, most in the same direction off the port side, one off the bow, all into the water. Ship was aflame, afloat and level, with the deck just taking on a bit of splash here and there.
Similar results with the other small merchants.
Still cool anyway.
