I've the same question.



Also, if you have cuties loaded into the aft tubes, bring her around and launch em in the general direction of the target ships, assuming this appears to be close range. Cuties, while weak and slow, have a notable tendency to blow the props off of ships, especially merchants. They may even get a warship, given the storm conditions (which tends to result in the AI slowing down).

Eventually escorts will leave the stricken ship to rejoin the main group, allowing you to finish the target off at your leisure.
