The image is of a ship hit by explosives, being blown out of the water. If you are blown out of the water by something, it is so surprising or astonishing that you are left speechless. You use this phrase for a situation that you never expected. An example would be "I was blown out of the water when she told me she was pregnant -- I thought she was taking Birth Control pills!"
