The bugger wouldn't sink.
He didn't even catch fire, didn't slow down, and there were no visible holes in his hull. I had to surface and finish him off with the deck gun, and considering that he was armed, I took some damage doing so, not to mention exposing myself to roaming aircraft.
How do I punch a hole in such a formidable armor? I mean, I managed to sink a battleship with 6 torpedoes, and this thing didn't even seem bothered by them...

Are you running stock 1.3? If so, then you'll encoutner a lot of cases where ships seem 'unsinkable', due to stupid compartment layout and config values. WernerSobe did an excellent job in fixing those issues in his Natural Sinking Merchants mod, which frankly is a must-have for anyone that tries to play SH 4 more than once a month.
