I only can tell what happen with me it was in the afternoon, and the weather was heavy with strong wind, rain and fog...my visibility is very poor and i only able to see a little forward of my bow.
Then i recebe the msg " ship at short range" and i "fly" to the bridge to see what it was...and it was a DD in my right side turning away of my position, slowly sailing away...my reaction was PD and silent running.
The DD didnt detect my presence and no shots was fire, i keep my boat in PD about 10 minutes and then i sail away in the oposite direction and i execute a normal dive, all aways i silent running untill i lost contact with the DD. This it was the first, the only, and the last time wich this strange situation happened with me of long years of silent hunter. Nothing more i have to said...
