I know if i was a uboat commander, i would certainly not bother carrying starshells (and once most ships are armed not carry a deck gun either).
I have to agree here..I highly doubt a Uboat would be carrying Starshells.

As for the HE and AP rounds I guess it would be plausible that they carried both.Most naval combatants carried both so I would not think it completely out of the question that they could have had them aboard uboats.I could certainly see where both would come in handy for certain situations.Now whether or not this is the case again is up for debate and personal interpretation of the data at hand.
