(newbie question I know)
You can order your gun crew to aim for specific targets. Waterline, hull, weapons, bridge are the options I think. There are icons that come up when you access the gun commands.

In theory taking out the bridge - or maybe it's the control room, I can't remember exactly how it's worded - anyway, taking that out would destroy the ship's communications center (so they can't call for help and give away your position). Poking holes in the ship along the waterline will make her sink faster.

If she's armed I guess going for her weapons is a no-brainer but I usually just submerge again as quickly as possible and rely on eels if she doesn't seem likely to sink from whatever damage I've already done.
