You can only guess or use your imagination to figure out why or what gives away your presence to a destroyer completly out of the blue.

That was my job yesterday afternoon. I tested it with Clemson, Hunt I-III and C-Class. First test was with destroyers at low speed (5kn). When i was in a IXD2 (and XXI) at 20m silent running all stop. Below 400m the indicator went to orange, then to red and the destroyers started to ping.
With higher speed of the destroyers they could come closer - but they found every time. The only chance to be not found is going deeper. Below 120m they didnīt recognice me - even when i was mooving with ahead slow.
So in SH3 they have a MAD-system wich isnīt known by the BDU. Damm!
