Magically, too, the ship is always on a collision course with you before it even fires the first salvo.

Radar.
After mid '41 cruising on the surface in heavy fog and heavy rain is just asking for trouble. Lost 3 boats in a row that way a few years back. Only one time out of that three did I even make it to the bridge before my boat was sunk. Then only to see the anchor of a Black Swan frigate looming over my head.... Next stop? POW camp.
Now I wait out those storms at 60m.
