Very little indeed.
Lone merchant ships would usually zig-zag (change course every 10-30 minutes or so) just as a precaution, even if there was no U-Boot in sight.
If the loner was a fast ship (as one could expect) it might try to outrun the submarine and run away. In any case (if the sub was surfaced) it could try to ram the submarine.
Nothing of this has been implemented in SH3 nor (afaik) in SH4.
Merchant AI is very stupid in SH3 unfortunately
