Deck Gun tactic question

OK, I know the German deck gun tactic was to only use it on crippled ships, to "finish them off'", and eventually they stopped using the deck gun altogether. What is the US tactic? For example, I am stalking a smallish costal merchant near the Japanese coast. Should I surface and hit him with the guns, since he is smaller, or will he call for help and I will get tons of planes/patrol ships/etc. after me? Just wondering how often the gun was used, as it seems like it was used more by the US then their German counterparts
