Ship unexpectedly destroyed at a ground CZ

I have been fighting the past day or so at a ground CZ. I travel in my own ship and deploy the SRV which I use as a base and a place to reset the CZ by logging to main menu. I have not been in my ship for several days, yet this morning, whilst fighting, I received a message to say the ship was destroyed, which was strange. I suppose that it could have remained. Who knows, never mind, nothing to see here, move on.

I get this with my SRV if I die during a high CZ. It seems the SRV auto destructs, often whilst I'm in the dropship coming back into re-join the action. It happens so often that I assumed it was a kind of like a penalty for dying. Tends to put a stop to the relogging whilst I go repair my SRV at a station.
Like you I land in my ship, use the SRV to drive in and then once finished drive out past the 500m mark and relog. Never happened to my ship before, that always seems to auto take off back to orbit.
 
Was your ship on the surface or in orbit. If you recalled it and left it on the surface then enemy ships will attach it.
Not only ships but any nearby hostile NPC's will target a commanders ship... and strangely it doesn't take long to wear your ship down with man portable weapons... BUT you will always get a warning in the upper left comm's section of your helmet HUD = 'Ship Is Under Attack'...... followed in short order with 'Ship Destroyed': These 'warnings' are VERY easy to miss when you are busy on foot!!!

I have sometimes managed to act quickly enough to dismiss my ship before it was destroyed... once I've actually spotted the attack warning.

This has mainly happened to me while I've been blissfully 'Restoring Power' to an off-line settlement, unaware that a ship load of 'Scavengers' had arrived unnoticed by me!!!!🔥

Wonder if it's some kind of memory clearing event in that case. Since you're at a dockable site, but with no dock available to you, the ship has become Schroedinger's Viper until summoned or some kind of timer runs out.
 
If the ship was dismissed it should be not in the game so invulnerable the same as if you had logged out and shut the game down.
As I had been fighting multiple battles at the site from the SRV, ship should not have been affected. Unless I missed something.
