The Merchants fire the white signal, if your U-boat is detected and the red one, when the ship sinks.
Concerning the warships, only escorts and destroyers use the white signal - light crusiers and higher do not use them anymore.

Thanks for the clarification Fitzcarraldo and Blueduck  .
My question now concerns realism, did merchant ships fire white starshells to illuminate the area if they suspected a u-boat's presence? Surely this would only help the u-boats see their targets more easily. Recently there was a mod released that removed serchlights from merchants for this very reason. I like the idea of red distress flares when a ship is going down, but am not certain about merchants illuminating the convoy with starshells, perhaps someone with a bit more knowledge on this subject could clarify?
