They would release a "stick" of two to four bombs, usually 500 lb (230 kg) or 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs equipped with four- to five-second time delay fuses at a distance of 60–300 ft (18–91 m) from the side of the target ship.
Hm... without the ability to calculate it correctly now... I think, this combination would make the bomb falling far over the the ship and miss it:

Height: 61m
Speed: 320km/h
Point of release distance from ship: 18m

Maybe in a dive, but not in level flight. Some information seems missing here to explain that.
Note, that I used the minimums height and speed of your numbers.
