Just have a go at 'em! You're close enough to base to reload easy enough and I find I'll get a couple ships for 8-10 torps using the old "SUPRISE!" pop up from 90+ meters in the middle of them. Duck and weave out, sneak up for a peek, pop the lurking DD on all stop and any of the sitting ducks / limpers.
I don't worry about the admirals too much. They give me medals and renown despite pretty much ignoring them and hosing lifeboats to boot. I just use common sense-I reported a 3 DD taskforce in shallow water near the Phillipines and quietly "lost" the INFLICT HEAVY DAMAGE orders. Keep up a decent tonnage and they love you anyway.
