Where the Nells set for Naval primary and Airfield secondary? If so there is a known bug that causes this that I think is being addressed in the next patch.

Yes. Thank you for information.

Yup.

I personally refer to this as the McHale-san's Navy bug.  The planes drop their ordinance in the port in such a way that they will run up the beach and across the berm onto the airfield before detonating.  (The berm is required as it gets used as a ramp for the torpedo to jump up from so that it will hit the ground nose first and detonate.)  [:'(]

Otherwise known as the Operation Petticoat bug (We sank a truck!)...
