The devs explicitly stated that they force flagships to return upon taking heavy damage due to sub abuse. It's not a matter of flagships sinking at red but merely people using 1 HP subs flagships to constantly run/clear maps.

Flagships never could sink, being forced to pull back is only to stop abusing that mechanic.
