Most of it is under water...Early subs weren't real big, and deck guns didn't become popular til later in WW1. Note they are letting the sailors leave before they sink the ship. They'll probably even bring them aboard and take them prisoner, as opposed to leaving them at sea. Things got a lot more brutal later in the war. Go figure.
