"It fired a live shell during a salute for a funeral, which hit the Aurora."
I had something like that happen to the Loweza in Fred's Diary. Only I got the idea from a different unlucky ship, the USS William D. Porter.
"On 14 November, at Roosevelt's request, Iowa conducted an anti-aircraft drill to demonstrate her ability to defend herself. The drill began with the release of a number of balloons for use as targets. While most of these were shot by gunners aboard Iowa, a few of them drifted toward William D. Porter which shot down balloons as well. Porter, along with the other escort ships, also demonstrated a torpedo drill by simulating a launch at Iowa. This drill suddenly went awry when a live torpedo discharged from mount #2[9] aboard William D. Porter and headed straight towards Iowa.[6]
William D. Porter attempted to signal Iowa about the incoming torpedo but, owing to orders to maintain radio silence, used a signal lamp instead. However, the destroyer first misidentified the direction of the torpedo and then relayed the wrong message, informing Iowa that Porter was backing up, rather than that a torpedo was in the water.[6] In desperation the destroyer finally broke radio silence, using codewords that relayed a warning message to Iowa regarding the incoming torpedo. After confirming the identity of the destroyer, Iowa turned hard to avoid being hit by the torpedo. Roosevelt, meanwhile, had learned of the incoming torpedo threat and asked his Secret Service attendee to move his wheelchair to the side of the battleship, so he could see.[6] Not long afterward, the torpedo detonated in the ship's wake, some 3,000 yards (2,700 m) astern of Iowa. As a result of this incident, US ships would routinely greet the destroyer with the joke "Don't shoot! We're Republicans!"[10] on account of Roosevelt being a Democrat. The entire incident lasted about 4 minutes from torpedo firing at 14:36 to detonation at 14:40." -- wikipedia

They do not want the Brigade crew from the Black Watch to know what they're doing. They are going to supply their own crew. of partisans.
The Dominator's crew had been loyal to Jinjur (see "I'm The Bad Guy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW-UvhF7W9c ) but since Jinjur turned on them, the lions can't trust the crew.
