Never sunk a single ship, I always retreat when a ship is red.

I even check their hp if they drop to medium damage and calc if they are close to the 25% boarder.

When one of my ships is just one or two hp away from heavy damage I retreat as well. I just don't trust the game itself, you never know when a bug shows up and I don't want to lose a ship because of something like that.
