Simplify...

-> crash dive (indeed as deep as possible) on full ahead and point your stern to the warship
-> switch to silent running before you reach your crash deep (depending on the distance to the warship, if closer you should do this sooner)
-> if they drop their lovely peaches, make full ahead and a hook (50:50 to choose the better direction)
-> if the warship runs over stay a bit on full ahead to gain speed which is needed to drift, then go back to silent running followed by a second hook (your stern should point to the estimated attack direction of the warship again)

I'm pretty sure that Der Alte's II. WO on U96 could better explain it, remembering the scene in the harbour of Vigo, but that's how von Luckner enjoys the british punch. (c:
