"You sank the boat?"

"I created a diversion."

"You sank the boat?"

"Technically, the Friesland is... was a ship rather than a boat. Which is why it was large enough to carry the boat we are in now."

"Sherlock, you sank the boat!"

"That's right, John. Do catch up."

Reading this again and LOLing again. I'm sure blowing up the ship sent a message to anyone thinking of kidnapping Sherlock's flatmate.
