The UK ships that you would want to worry about commonly on NY are: L2 L1 Nelly POW
If the L2 is going 39, HE it. If it is going 37, HE it. If it is going 35, HE at angle 41-45, run, and continue running and lobbing at 41-45. Do not let that L2 get in less than angle 41 while you are running. A 35 knot AW L2 will not match a speed capped Y or SY. Especially not the SY.
L1s are the biggest pain. If the L1 is not going 42, then he is probably armored to some degree, but not enough to be significantly dangerous to you, so HE it. If the L1 is going 37, HE it at max range. The only keypoint here is staying at max range and firing. If you let the L1 get close, then either rush into it and use HE, or use AP on it at 30 degrees or so. However, either way is a big risk.
As IJN, just stay at max range as often as you can.
Any Nelly, armored or unarmored, you should HE it. But remember to stay outside its range, especially if it is using quads.
Any POW not going at 45+ knots is no threat. It's the unarmored POWs that are dangerous. However, with that said, don't worry about switching to AP.
