Not much, but you would get a sense of activity, and depending on how badly the ship was hit, you might sometimes see life boats hitting the water.

Well, however realistically we do play it, I think the point is that even some of the most 'hardcore' among us love taking out the camera for screenshots and movies every once in a while.

I don't know, I'd be perfectly fine with the crewmen even just disappearing after a hit, but if the devs took the effort to animate them onto ships - I don't see why they can't likewise animate them off when needed. I just can't picture anything more silly than a dude strolling across a deck of a capsizing ship

I don't think you'll see them strolling around on a capsizing ship.

Okay, that's fine then. I agree otherwise that we're not playing a first person shooter here and it's alright to have the crew behaviour highly abstracted.
(And I'm sure that like in SHIII, when a ship blows up, they'll be flying high :P )
