The shallow water does present the usual challenge, sinking a BB in the middle of the channel creates a giant blockship that seriously impedes the escorts ability to maneuver. With large numbers of DD's (5+) passing by the shallow water can backfire on them when you create a traffic jam on the surface. With up to 10 DD's looking for you 1 or 2 can start dropping charges in the shallow water, being unable to accelerate because of another escort being in front of them they'll end up blowing themselves up from their own charges.
