Gotta try that dominoes thing, sounds like fun!
Meantime just got to keep my distance from cruisers and tankers, although I recently got too close to a small split freighter that was apparently carrying ammunition. This one;
secondaries from the BB blew up the destroyer, trouble there is you don't get credit for sinking both ships.
One thing always irritated me about destroyers, do an "up the kilt" shot (opposite of down the throat) and the blast invariably makes the depth charges and racks vanish into another dimension, no secondary explosions from all them depth charges;
This guy took one up the butt, then continued steaming along at 8 knots. Note the ash cans and racks are gone, enough damage to leave him down by the stern but still in the fight.
