I'm assuming you set the MinEF and MaxEF to 999999 then. Just doing that alone is not going to take down a battleship. You also have to adjust the MinRadius and MaxRadius so that a wider 'area' of the unit receives the damage from the torp.
When the torp impacts a unit the game calculates which compartments (zones) on the unit receive damage based on where the torp hit and MinRadius and MaxRadius of the torp (via which spheres are intersected which then corresponds to which boxes were intersected). Then once it knows this then it can apply damage to those compartments based on the torp's MinEF and MaxEF (accounting for the zones armor value). It then totals up all the damage incurred to each compartment and if that value exceeds the HPs of the unit then it is destroyed. This is a simplified explanation BTW.
