I was more successful in forcing them to run aground. Some of the islands inside Scapa have 15m depth within 100m of them, so by turning hard on the corners they ran themselves ashore as they try to follow me.
I've had similar results inside most ports, only leaving me with the stationary warships to sink before going for the merchants with deck gun. It works fine early on, but I'm sure it will be suicidal later in the war when merchants are armed.
