Depends on the tactical situation. Are there other ships around? Am I late for an important date with a hot convoy? How's my loadout? A lot of factors come into play.

Generally speaking, if things are fairly calm, (and I've got time to kill waiting for another juicy target to sail by), I'll keep in close proximity and let the flooding and fire run their course.

If on the other hand, time is a pressing concern, then I'll try to finish her quickly with the deck and/or AA guns (if possible).

Again, (generally speaking), if she's 5000 tons or less I don't like to use a second eel on her unless I absolutely have to.
