You can do this with any ASW ship if you can get them to follow you on that.
I have 46 DDs sunk since Dec. 7 1941, and it's early January 44.
But I know the mission. It's a tough one to ay the least.

Ah, ok thanks Hylander - I assumed from looking at them that I wouldn't have a hope of hitting one with a (probably faulty) Mk 14, they looked so shallow in the water! I'll give your tactic a try next time, and maybe tweak the sonar values as Duci suggests.
EDIT: Ducimus, any thoughts on restoring the music?
