IIRC alot of AN16 is quite shallow, when searching I always try to plan my route to stay in the deepest water possible- when clear of enemy vessels I check depth & write down the time as well so i have atleast an idea of where the bottom is. Shallow waters are scary if you're not an Ace.

Also don't think anyone has mentioned keeping your bow or preferably tail pointed at the DD whenever possible. Remember you can't outrun a destroyer but you can hide from him. "Depth charges in the water" is a good time to run you engines a bit if you want to, though if they aren;t close you don't need to do anything.

Indeed sometimes doing nothing at all is the best plan, but it's only natural to want to do something. Fight the urge, silent and sneaky is a good motto.

Good luck!
