Open range to 8500 yards, engage with deck gun.

Seriously though, try using more torpedoes. A 3-4 fish spread seems to be the minimum for success. You're actually in luck, if he's stopped you don't have to waste any shots behind him (a moving ship you would have to allow for him slowing down). You could also figure out his length and then do some trig to figure the max spread angle that allows you place a torpedo every hull length for some distance. You should definitely be able to hit him with no more than 3 torps at 700y.

Edit: per my iPhone calculations, a mutsuki takes up 2.7 degrees at 2100y and 8.5 degrees at 700y, so that should be your spread. Or you can measure it with your periscope, but that may vary with your mod
