I have no other suggestions either. Aiming at the forward mast usually does the trick. Unless you have mods that changed this particular unit class.

I can attest to the invincible Passenger/Cargo's. I hit one amidships with a torpedo and subsequently surfaced and began shooting it with the deck gun. After expending a considerable amount of ammunition, the ship broke in two just fore of the pilothouse from an explosion, and I received the "She's going down!" message. I steamed away at 10 knots and watched the ship with the free camera. I gave up after watching the ship for three in-game hours and seeing it not drop an inch lower in the water. Tough little buggers...
