So...

1/ reverse course (get away from shooting location)
2/ FLANK SPEED and DIVE DEEP (to get under thermal layer) until they arrive at shooting location.
3/ silent running, keeping 0/180 degrees to the closest ASW unit.

(When you say 20 degrees, does it matter whether it's 20 or 340?)
Works most the time, but obvious sometimes you shoot closer in. I always take time on my approach and pick the weakest point to attack. The best way to escape dd's is learn tactics to where you never have to deal with them.
