That may be true but later in the war you will want to use keel shots when things get dicey and you can't always have a good angle to shoot from. In addition, Passenger Liners don't have ammo bunkers but some of them will be hauling ammo instead of soldiers (I found this out with a rude awakening in my last campaign...the ship blew up and took me with it even though I was nearly 500 meters away...submerged!).
A keel shot to the nose of a Passenger Liner steaming at 15 knots will sink it every time. When running at slow speeds, I like to put one under its backend (right where the upper deck housing terminates). This always starts a fire and the ship goes down by the stern.
