Platapus gave you a huge idea here. While on course to my destinations I always track friendly ships. Historically, this was done; the friendly ships were warned that US subs between California and Hawaii would be conducting runs on them and not to freak out. I learned a great deal about the Hydrophones from doing this. Now, I quite often can lay down a course for a contact (with a decent range estimate) from practicing with friendlies.
Another thing about IJN DD's, Always go to Battle stations and Silent Running.
I've walloped all of my escorted ships with silent running. Without it, they'll hear you from miles away. I'm sure you know this already, I've messed up a few times and forgot to even go to battle stations and KA-BOOM, I'm running like Elmer Fudd.
