Almost all units have defensive damage in melee. If you attack a battleship from range while it's shooting at other target it should not damage you back, however if you are in close combat, it will deal defensive damage anyway, same applying to aerial attacks. My explanation is that while the main long range cannons are busy reloading, while in melee or aerial attack the lower range defensive guns on the ship are manned, and used to defend.
