Yep - you need to click on the icon for the deck gun on the left slideout panel and go to the gun station - then click on the HE (?) shell icon to load the first shell. From that point on you can either continue to man/fire the gun yourself, or return to the bridge/UZO/binocs view and order your crew (via the Watch Officer) to work it.

The reason for this is that the game is set up to load AP ammo first automatically, which cannot be modded out. However GWX does not put any AP ammo in your patrol loadout (for reasons of historical accuracy IIRC). So if left to its own devices the game will be waiting for your crew to "auto-load" ammo that just isn't there. Once you go to the gun station and select the HE ammo instead, the crew can start loading the ammo you actually have.

Edit: TOO SLOW DAGNABBIT! Needz moar kaffeene.
