Deck gun fore, or aft?

Since the submarine is more maneuverable and faster than most merchants wouldn't an aft mounted deck gun allow for a closer/tighter circle around the target while still maintaining a firing solution? I also agree that the submarine loses a majority of its advantage as a hunter during a surface gun battle and would want to be setup to disengage ASAP if I suddenly lose the perceived advantage.
