They can’t use real ammunition or really fire the cannons, right? Otherwise, It would be like:
“The drills were a success, sir. We sank five of our own ships!”

You don’t shoot live ammo at manned targets. When you’re doing a force-on-force exercise you just go through all the motions with the actual weapons locked out. So you pull the trigger, nothing happens, and the referees decide whether you scored a hit.
Live fire training you do against targets (drones, big floating reflectors, or derelict ships) and they are generally expected to get blown the fuck up. The US Navy even turns old fighter jets into RC planes just to shoot them down.
