I dont care how many carrots they eat, sailors CANT see in the dark Ships occasionally with lights on, navigational lights and/or windows lit, Im pretty sure they did have electricity back in the 40's....
"It's very kind of the British to show us their navigation lights..."

Indeed. Lanterns (so that relatively experienced sailors like me could tell if they were moving towards you, away from you, and so on), navigation lights, interior lights, etc.

Better responses are a must, too. A destroyer would return to port if it was heavily damaged, not just continue its patrol ,
