Super tankers?

I am playing with TM 1.5 and 100% realism, and on my way home from a mission in Japan I encountered a Large Modern Tanker. He passed within 1000 meters of me, and I hit him with six Mark 23 torpedoes, spread all across his lenght, all about 5.5 meters below the waterline.

The bugger wouldn't sink.

He didn't even catch fire, didn't slow down, and there were no visible holes in his hull. I had to surface and finish him off with the deck gun, and considering that he was armed, I took some damage doing so, not to mention exposing myself to roaming aircraft.

How do I punch a hole in such a formidable armor? I mean, I managed to sink a battleship with 6 torpedoes, and this thing didn't even seem bothered by them...
