With some luck that's all a DD collision will do to you.
By the way, ramming a destroyer is a viable solution if you're out of torpedoes. Just make sure you have damage crews on ready status and nobody in the fore torp room. 3 out of 4 times, ramming a destroyer abeam will split it in half with some major damage to your hull. 1 out of 4 times you'll both be going under. It's a gamble but it's better than being DCed to death.
Run flank underwater, evade the DCs to the best of your ability, surface and ram the DDs flank. I've been able to basically jump out of the water (emergency surface) directly next to a DD... only to find myself on the other side within seconds. Surpringly I only took minor damage compared to what I would've expected. Some flooding but damage crew fixed it. Heavy fog also meant the other 2 DDs couldn't get a long shot on me and I was able to make a run for it. To estimate the damage... bulkhead almost out of comission and most fore system heavily damaged. Flooding was under control... all in all a walk away situation.
