I found that it was trickier tan the Wiki says. The stationary ship will move if you move too fast or leave the scope up too long. After it goes, the other ships may start to move. Hit the C2 cargo ship next with two torps. Alternatively, you can stop her dead in the water with one torp and come back to finish her off after you get the other three. By now, the others are zigging. Take out the merchie almost due west of the C2; then head ESE fast to get the small tanker, the speediest target. Leaving her for last may let her escape. Finally, run ENE for the last merchie.
