Watch out for those armed old split freighters. I found one escorting a large modern tanker, and only had three torps left; I used them all on the tanker. She was burning and listing, but still limped away. I wasn't going to settle for that! The old freighter was beating me up pretty good after surfacing, but I managed to get my target between me and the old freighter. That gave me time to blast the tanker with my deck gun until she sank. Great way to end a patrol.
