blowing up deck gear/smokestack/deck guns on enemy ships

[Keelbuster]

Can you inflict critical damage (and flooding) by destroying components of enemy ships that sit on the deck? You can blow up masts, cargo, deck guns, ports, and the smoke stack. I was particularly interested in the smokestack, because it appears to fall down into the engine room - can this do critical damage to those compartments?

Wishful,
