I don't recall ever having an eel go under a ship until it happened to me last night. Twice. Heavy seas, was hard to use the periscope. The eel got right up to the Black Swan class that I fired at and it conveniently went right under it and kept on trucking away on the other side. Then I had another shot moments later at something else in the convoy and it went under that ship as well. After that, I set my torp to cruise at 2m and hit a whale factory ship, but it didn't sink that ship (maybe because I hit it higher up and it didn't flood properly?). I set the rest of them to 3m after that, which seemed to be a happy medium for the rough sea.
