Ships Turning Rates

Are they to high ?

I was sitting 800mts off a line of merchants there were 4 lines in total, I set up a shot for the leading ship in the 2nd line in, I fired the torp and seconds later I fired another at the leading ship in the line closest to me. As the torp hit the 1st ship my 2nd torp was half way to the merchant in line 1, but as the bang of the hit went up all the merchants were turning the second the 1st torp hit all the ships were turning and the ship closest to my boat had moved at least 5 degrees and still moving so much so my torp missed.

How long after ships in a convoy hear a torp hit would they take to move 5+ degrees.
