Passenger liner design flaw

Hello folks, I finally started seeing a few liners now in 1942, saw none before that. First one I saw I found in port at Merthyr, which I was raiding. I think I have discovered a killer weakness of the passenger liner that lets you put down a 24000 ton ship with only one eel. If you can get close enough to hit it just right that is.
The spot is directly under the first lifeboat behind the aft funnel, running depth 5 meters, fast T1, impact fused. Startled by this, and in the interests of science, I had to reload my game (which I saved before entering the harbor) and try it again. It's not a fluke, it is repeatable, it works. A hit there causes the ship to instantly explode and gives an "Enemy unit destroyed" message before it's even sunk.
