Visually the game shows enemies sunk in PVP as always surviving on 1 hp even though they're actually on 0 hp. On a rare occasion though (such as what you experienced) the enemy ship actually happened to survive on 1 hp, but obviously since dealing any more damage would require them to be shown as 'sunk', any damage-dealing attack is displayed as a 'miss' even if the attack actually connected.
