Narrowly missed being rammed by a destroyer (literally within 1 meter of my stern) after a vast miscalculation of his speed and direction. I was trying to go toe-to-toe with my deck gun and got a few good hits, unfortunately not enough to immobilize or destroy him. Once I realized his intention of ramming I quickly ordered hard to port / ahead flank and as mentioned barely squeaked by. I decided that a straight up surface fight with this guy was a bad idea at this point, luckily his shells didn't do too much damage and my pressure hull was fine, so after the near miss I ordered a crash dive and evasive maneuvers. Ran silent for a while at 60m and got out of there. I decided not to re-engage with this guy considering the close call he gave me. Gonna continue to my patrol grid and learn from my mistake. Back to hunting.
