and it's generally a "one hit, one kill"
Wow, nice!

So the captain of the DD basically have two choices (If he knows you are gonna use this tactic) either he will continue the chase and most propably get hit or he would quit the chase and let the enemy sub vanish to the deeps... and maybe got hit after that.
