Yes deeper, seek out the thermal layer, also quieter, dial up 2 knots.
When the DD makes its run which can be easily detected as he is close, headed straight at you running at flank... when he does jump into flank youself and change course... hard.. one way or the other. after a few minutes drop back to 2 knots, put the rudder amid ships change to silent running again and pray you can slowly slip away.
There are a few DD's out there that are good... really good. Espically later in the war. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose.
