Many keyboard commands are missing from the stock game. Our intrepid modders have addressed the most egregious omissions. I recommend Church's key commands mod found here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163444

As for the deck gun: talk to your watch officer on deck to man or un-man the deck gun.

No need to talk to the watch officer.. just toggle them with F5. Be sure to also push F7 (turn on battlestations) so they reload faster.

F6 mans the flack gun by the way.

Oh and if your planning on sneeking up on a ship to use your deck gun, don't get the gun crew on deck until the last minute or they will instantly open fire when in range. There is a mod to stop this with a key configuration but it is set up with another key mod which don't work so well for me
