It might have been out of range.

When you target a Stealthed ship, FTJava shows you the *actual* range (ie., 
the physical distance between the two ships) rather than the 
stealth-adjusted *appearent* range (ie. the range used when resolving the 
shots); but it resolves the fire using the stealth-adjusted appearent range.

IOW, if the actual range was (say) 20 and you targeted the DH with 12 B2s 
(normal max range 24, stealth-adjusted max range 16 assuming that it has 
level-2 Stealth) then FTJava would let you give the fire order without 
telling you that the target is out of range, and would then resolve the 
fire inflicting no damage (since the target *is* out of range due to the 
Stealth) :-/
