Hm, I consistently sink ore carriers with 1 eel, they usually take about 10 minutes to 2 hours to completely sink, generally hit them right near the bow
troopship I don't know, it's been ages since I've seen one of those
but most ships tend to succumb to 1 eel, even the large 10000 ton freighters and tankers and also the 4 stacker passenger liners
the only things I can't consistently sink with 1 eel are large warships (not counting Nelson BBs, those take only one), T3 tankers, small tankers for some reason and Passenger/Cargos
Engine room wouldn't be the best aiming point, it generally stops but doesn't sink them, or if it does it takes a loooong time..
I tend to aim for the 2nd mast from the bow with merchants, depth 5m, impact
for tankers it's magshots aimed underneath the bow, in front of the bridge, and if I fire another, it's a magshot aimed just in front of the engines
Practice, practice, practice, eventually you'll find the sweet spot for almost any ship
