I can say with about 100% certainty that in fact they were...

I put a Star Shell round into a torpedo boat...That exploded very nicely, and sunk like a brick, but no flying....though flying things did come after :/

A star shell and even a 105mm DG shell won't make it fly. Only a torpedoe. Its just the ingame qhysics. big bang + low target weight = flying target.

Ramming was in fact much used in the Mediterranean against egyptian small vessel crafts.Dietrich Schöneboom's U-431 in fact did it more than once

Back when the game was new one player experimented with making 'super' torpedoes. He posted screenshots of a battleship flying through the air.

If you have windows paint (should be in the start menu) you can scale down the size and save em as a jpg thus making them alot more post friendly - actually even just saving them as a jpg using paint should shrink the file size enough for posting
