I was in a heavy fog moving slow. I had a sonar contact and knew I was coming up on a convoy and I was trying to feel my way into it. Then, without warning, a DD came steaming out of the fog and rammed me. Flooding. Panic. Screams. Damage control parties drowning in shattered compartments and then for laughs the DD decided to lay a pattern of depth charges.
It was a really messy death.
