They're especialy fun since my preferred tactic with lone merchants (unless other factors make a guns-only attack possible, or use of guns impossible) is to line up a submerged attack and put one eel in 'em and then surface to finish 'em off with the deck gun. Really gets the adrenalin going when you've just hit the surface and suddenly get the "we're under attack" message and hear
their guns start firing! Which they WILL do even if they're in the process of sinking, the buggas.
