How do you get your crew to fire on ships?

So funny situation.

After sending a Nelson to Davy Jones locker north of Scapa, I decided to return to port only to find a Queen Elizabeth also on her way to Scapa. Only had two eels left. Penetrated the screen and first one hit right under the funnel and she comes to a dead stop. Second eel from my stern tube does some extra damage but doesn't sink her.

Funny, the escorts completely ignore me and steam around the stricken battleship as if she doesn't exist

. I wait a while for her to sink and nothing. I move off to 7000m and surface.

I begin shelling...

No response, not even a broadside...

Oh well, so much for enemy AI.

But my question: I can't seem to get my crew to fire upon the ship without me actually aiming. Would like to use the external camera and see the incoming shells hit the ship, but my deck crew just sit there and wait for me to fire.

Anything I can do?
