Cant Attack Docked Harbor Units

Well I am on my first patrol in a type IIA after having to do a complete reinstall after an agonising upgrade.
So I have snuck in to Hartlepool harbour and there is a C2, docked, a small merchant anchored at the mouth of the harbour, and a T3 docked. Well I wanted to get the T3, so I manouvered around to line up a shot. I was sailing on a roughly 90 degree course to the position that the T3 was docked in and I fired a eel at him, at about 500 mts, set to impact, worked perfectly the eel exploded just behind the bridge starting a fire, but no sinking. So I launched a second eel at the tanker, this time it hit home forward of the bridge, but without sinking it....

So expecting the V&W that was patrolling nearby to come after me I set course out of the harbour, but as I left I put my 3rd eel in to the small merchant, sinking him.

So can the docked ships be sunk ? surley 2 eels should have done the job..
