I did have a recent experience that seems out of sync with the current thoughts on aggressive warship AI. I was off the coast of n africa in 1942 (Jan), ran into a task force of 3 cruisers with 3 dd escorts. I crept up at 1 kt at periscope depth and managed to put 3/4 torps into a fiji which promptly sank. I went silent and deep, albeit very slowly moving at 2 kts. I don't even think the dd's altered course to find me. no pings, depth charges or any sign of hostility. the weather was clear but windy (15knts) with significant waves which made staying stealthy even trickier. Just seemed a bit odd....
