As a sidenote.. A few weeks ago, when I was messing with the 3D models and nodes etc, I managed to add extra Depth Charge Launchers (K-Guns) to the Asashio Class DD (incidentally a single Y-Gun fires two charges in the same direction so you need two Y-guns each facing the opposite way to get a "good spread").
Anyway, I then tried to take the Taihosan class small freighter and make a Q-ship. No Idea where it all when wrong, but it did. I added sensors from DD's etc up gunned it a bit and tried to add DC throwers on the aft decking. I since gave up, but I still think it would be a worthwhile idea for someone who is better at these things. I think the problem was using a merchant as a warship, I initially was setting the Type to a corvette.. but who knows what the problem was..
But from what I've read it was quite common for subs to encounter merchants that would hurl a few charges over the side. Not real Q-ships, they came later in the war I think.
