does this game model incompetent sailors accidentally detonating a torpedo while reloading?

No, but it does model incompetent captains not paying proper attention to their situation. How close to the last ship you sank were you when you took the damage. A very long time ago I died in a training mission when a ship I was shelling from 500 meters blew up, taking me with it.
