funny story.
i encountered a task force once in "stock" ages ago.
torpedoed a BB and the others ran off in the distance. the BB didnt sink, but instead listed hard to port and slowed to about 2 knots.
i followed him and managed to position myself about 300 meters off his starboard side.
his guns couldnt aim down enough to hit me so when i surfaced i manned the flack guns and shot off all of his open AA guns which were trying to shoot at me.
then i manned the deck gun and emptied every single round into him.
i dont think it made so much as a dent, but it caused a couple of secondaries and he was noticably lower in the water.
eventually as the escorts came rushing back from the now far gone convoy, i gave the BB a stern shot which finished him off.
i dont know about stock SH3, but i think in GWX large warships are pretty much impervious to deck gun rounds.
