when should I use HE and AP rounds when targeting ships?

and one last question, the two lines above the ship the blue and grey one..what do they mean...when the grey one down it sinks but the blue one?

cheers all
Deck gun first.. thats different..

Im convinced that in SH5 it doesent make any difference where munitions or torpedoes hit the ship. It seems to be hit point based.

I could be wrong because it was modeled in previous titles.

AP rounds at the hull HE at the deck.

Grey line represents 'hull integrity' blue line 'sinking' my personal observations leads me to believe the ship will not go down untill the grey bar is nulled out.
