However, if we ignore the distinction, I still can't see how this example applies to a sub - its not as if HMAS Sydney could approach submerged and torpedo the Kormoran as per submarine doctrine and practice.
Your saying you'd sink all unarmed merchant with torps and never surface and deck-gun her??
