The merchant deck guns are left untouched so that players are dissuaded from acting in an unhistorical manner. As far as I know no US sub captain would take on an armed merchant with a sub's deck gun - such activity is suicidal and cannot possibly end with a positive result for the sub. Players can start over when a sub is holed and sinking thousands of miles from safety, but real sub captains couldn't. Deck guns, as I understand it, were used for sinking unarmed merchants.
