[WernherVonTrapp]

Quite some time ago, I was in place (at PD) to ambush a TF in TMO. A DD that I hadn't seen earlier emerged from the distance and was making a bee-line toward me. His speed was commensurate with the rest of the TF so I deduced that he did not see me (night attack). He passed in front if me at about 1500yds. Just prior to this, I started hearing the dreaded ping...ping...ping and thought he detected me. My first inclination was to dive and hightail it out of there. I don't recall why I remained in my position, but I stayed put. Sure enough, despite the pinging, he never turned toward me and continued escorting the TF. Soon after he passed, the pinging ceased. He was the only DD that got close to me during that engagement
I was able to sink a heavy cruiser after the DD had gained enough distance, though he interrupted my attack on a CV. I got away clean
