I just tried this in the Artillery Training mission. I was touch-me close to the freighter, enough so that I could see the individual crew members. No one seemed to notice when I raked the decks with the twin 20s.
This would seem to say that no, the sub's AA guns won't affect things like a freighter's deck piece.
The experiment may need to be run against a target with a deck gun, though.
Interestingly, I did sink the sampan which was on-hand for the same mission, so maybe there's something in the game which declares a deck gun suppressed if the freighter takes a threshold quantity of damage.
