How many of you have good Dangerous Waters tales that you remember?

I will start:

"AI's Aren't Always Dumb"

This is a short tale. I was doing an ASW area search in a Seawolf around GUIK. All a sudden I caught a contact. Fat dumb and happy, about 10,000 yards from me. I made my way toward it gloating with satisfaction. Just as I fired it disappeared leaving a ghost. I kept firing at the ghost until out of nowhere a torpedo came and pow!
What had happened is the target had turned toward me and done an end around, coming up on my stern. While I was firing at the ghost contact he must have used the sound of the launch to isolate my position and fire on it. Clever. That AI did a great service to Mother Russia.
