Well, that's not the way I - and others - do it!  I know several of us
put the full street address into the Location field.  (I just recently
realised it was a good idea to separate the house number from the road
name with a comma, too, so that all road names sort together!)

I would enter something like "Enemy action in WW1" as the Cause of
Death.  In the Location field I would put something like "HMS Nameofsub,
at sea" or "HMS Nameofsub, North Sea" or more precisely if you know the
area.

I have the names of a few ships in my Location list.
