Default Star Shells?

I'm watching a let's play by TaffInExile and he's experimenting with Star Shells. I've not played with any mods that has them but he's not having any luck with them. Can someone who knows how they work comment?

Here's a link to the video with his unimpressive results.

Only some of non playable AI merchants and destroyers have star shells , not playable subs...The game on the video looks pretty much "stock-ish" to me but I assume that this also applies to stock game as well...

So it begs the question...why are there "SS" rounds for the Deck gun when they weren't there before? Planning for future improvements?

Default Look about 3 minutes in.

He attempts to use the star shells about two minutes 28 seconds into the video. (He has three choices for his deck gun ammo - the right most are what we think are star shells.) I tried to include the time-code in my link but I guess that that isn't working here.

I see star shells launched from AI merchants in a convoy in the Mediterranean.

Do not wait many of them.

Playing TWoS 2.

Best regards.
