I cant sink a tanker at point blank range

I spent several hours tonight sneaking into a british harbor to get a tanker about 300m from my torpedo tubes. Ive messed with the detonators, crew morale, depth of torpedos and still can not sink a damn tanker. From what I can tell it takes 4 of them, but here is what I see.

The torpedos come into contact with the tanker and then either:
A. stop at the hull and then run parallel with it and run into the levy behind it and blow up
Or
B. Stop at the hull, go under the ship, and blow up behind it, causing no damage.

Im very new to sub simulation and can not find many tutorials on how to get my torpedos to blow up a damn tanker.
