The Giant and the Storm Naval Mission HELP?!

[RandyXL]

I'm struggling to fire on these two frigates and man-o-war without completely destroying them.
The objective is to shoot all the ships' powder stores.
I've watched a few YouTube videos.. I can't seem to get it right. 
Any strategies or recommendations?

I just beat it. 11mins after I post 
with hours trying 

I found that If you:
1)disable them all with chain shots
2)make sure you fire those chain shot once on each and disable them
3)If your ship is fully upgraded.. use your round cannons
4)I fired directly at them with the enemy boats bow pretty much touching mine port or starboard
5)powder stores showed up on the 2nd shot head on the frigates and 3rd or fourth with the man-o-war.

I almost rage quit this mission today, finallly did it. Unfortunately I had upgraded the ram which made it more difficult. 

I found shooting the round cannons directly method just too inconsistent, easy to miss and get taken out by a wave.  

I ended up just raming all 3 at half speed, then firing on the powder stores.

You need to go half speed and shooting them, in the front only, 2 times. Then, the powder stores are visible and you know what to do  I had the Aquilla fully upgraded and I just did it on my second try.

I did it with a fully upgraded ship. Go full speed then when you're about to hit it, press circle twice so you stop. Make sure that your bow hits the other ship's bow and grinds alongside it for a second. If you get a direct hit the ships will sink. If you're having trouble lining up just sail away for a bit and turn around. Below is a diagram to show which part of the ship to ram. I was trying to get this for about 2 hours before I googled this and got it second try.
