"Rapid fire" is a relative thing. Since both the sub and target are potentially moving, the fire must be constantly corrected unless they are steaming parallel. That means waiting for the shell to splash (or hit). At some of the longer ranges, the flight time is comparable to the best ROF (spec) time to ready the gun for the next round. If a sub was firing at extreme range, observing the shot could dominate the ROF.
What the logs show is a start time, a stop time, number of rounds fired/hit. Again, do a few experiments. Heck, use the stock guns and time yourself to whatever you think a realistic ROF is.
If it doesn't take you 20-30 minutes to sink a small frieghter (maybe a tug or somethign similarly "coastal frieghter" in size --- ~1000 tons), then something is wrong.

Sounds like a plan.
Maybee it should be recorded to see what you are dealing with exactly.
