This is pretty much what I thought went on. The main way a missile boat is effective is if nobody knows where it is. So they go out on patrol and cruise around poking holes in the ocean at very slow speeds running virtually totally silent. The fact that these two didn't even know they hit another boat is testament to how quiet they are. Also the reason they weren't badly damaged because they were running so slow.
