Oh, I dunno - a few from a 3"/50 right below the waterline oughta do the trick.

And remember - most of the propulsion kills will work once, until the bad guys cop wise and start leaving hostages to drown in the machinery spaces after you pop the shaft seals with that prop kill. At least at that point, we'll have them reacting to what we're doing, but they still have the advantage as long as we're concerned about hostages.

They act, we react. We have to find a way to take the initiative away from these guys. As long as the world's nations are on the defensive, the bad guys are winning.
