Ref above is correct, I have done what he said on a Sen Toku. If you just use cannon instead of turret, and it has AA and either HE or AP it will shoot at both. At least it did with the Japanese gun. But it was a 25mm and did pracitcally no damage to a ship. You would probably run out of ammo with it before it did anything.
But, just for your info, while building the Maya it used Japanese 5" Double barrel dual purpose guns, but when I set them to Cannons, when one side of the ship fired at a target, both sides would shoot. I am new at this and may have made a mistake, but it did happen and I didn't find a way to stop it. So one side was shooting at the enemy and the other side was shooting in the directions of friendlies. On a sub it would not be a probelm if it is set so it can point both ways, but if you install one port and one starboard it may end up with the same problem.
