#2 As a backgrounder: local fishing boats that worked near the travel lanes around Holy Loch and Faslane (Scotland) during the cold war would have an 'axeman' stationed on the trawl deck, to cut the line if it suddenly snapped taunt, the theory being they'd snagged a nuke sub going the other way.

#3 Not at all impossible - IIRC USS Houston killed a fishing boat that way many years ago.
