Using HE rounds vs a small or mid sized merchant (assuming it doesn't have deck guns) isn't a half bad option if you don't want to waste torpedoes or deck gun shells. I've had great luck with it, although I much prefer just about any other method of attack.

In the thick fog I ran into a ship. Literally - we were pressed against each other - and I was too low for her to train her guns. I was out of deck gun rounds - so I just went merrily blasting away. She didn't sink, but her engines were done and I was able to position for a torpedo launch.
