Is there any good way to avoid these types of encounters?
Be sure to execute collision avoidance moves once you get a bearing. You may also want to check the HF sonar if you're driving the Seawolf class.

I too have used the scenario generator where the it places an opposing vessel too close. Since I normally drive the Seawolf, I just make it a habit to use the HF sonar. It's quick and so far as I know, it's undetectable.
