The deck gun can be useful, especially early in the war. It's just right for putting down that stubborn merchant, when you just know another eel will be overkill and a waste. Or for taking out smaller ships, like the odd tugboat and such. I just used mine last night (U-53, type IXB) in 11/1939 to get rid of an obnoxious little barfly of a schooner (17 tons, but it was just so pesky that I had to shoo it away) - nothing swats a bug like a 105mm round :p
