Setting the gyros would be the difficult part. The V-1 took quite a while to
set and ship's movement would cause a real problem.

Not overly complicated. Several test V-1s were actually fired from
U-boats in the Baltic late in the war. After the war both the US and
USSR developed cruise missiles based on the V-1 that could be launched
from both subs and aircraft carriers (see Regulas).
Here's some other info on Germany's U-boat rocket plans:
