The DD lack any sort of serious aggression at all. There were at least 6-10 of them, only one even came over to the area. I got within 200 yards of a Chitose and it did not even fire at me nor try to ram. Their lack of aggression seems to be very consistent from Dec 7 1941 to April of 42. I'm getting way more tonnage than I should be. 189,000 tonnes in three patrols seems just to easy to me. I get more aggression out of the Merchants than capital ships. While they refuse to turn an ram me they at least fire at me most times.
