Run up on them using Sonar then manually fire the deck gun. If I get a hit I'll see it if not I adjust range of fire. Once my shots are consistent hits I keep firing until it is on fire and going down. I have taken out Destroyers this way as well. They can not fire back at what they can not see.
In other cases I will hit the merchants and leave the DD alone, confused and pondering what to tell command about all its escorted vessels going down but it remain untouched. Fog is your friend. If you are running with Cuties even more so if you want to use them. Just fire them manually 5-10 ahead of the target at about 2000 yards or less. I took out the Yamato in a typhoon this way once. I had used Cuties to slow it down and then after it slowed and or stopped, Mk 14 until it sank. I had no idea what it was only that I was hitting it until it sank and I saw the log. I was within 2000 yards of it the whole time and there were CA, CL and DD around but as she slowed they all kept going.
