The community manual http://www.communitymanuals.com/shii...itle=Main_Page has a great section on ship weak spots on where to hit various type vessels to down them in a single shot. It leaves out a couple though, C3 might be one of them, I forget. But for ships in general, the engine room is located directly below the smokestack, and the fuel tank is just forward of the engine room. You want to hit right between the engine room and the fuel tank, so aim for a few meters forward of just below the smoke stack, in a lot of cases this is right below where the ship's bridge is. Use impact torpedo set at 3 meters. It'll work every time you hit it right, but you don't always hit it right, especially in manual targetting. You know you've got it when you get a nice secondary fiery explosion on a half second delay after the torpedo impact explosion. If you miss the sweet spot, at least you hit the aft end of the vessel, so a second shot to the bow will usual do the trick, often I put the bow shot on magnetic for just under the bow's keel.
