Yes, it is possible. I've done it more than once.

I don't know if it is obvious to everyone here, but ...

DON'T CHANGE YOUR COURSE

... after you have fired your eel!!!
The destroyer will notice it and alter his course, too.

You should only go deep as fast as you can.

I always run with max speed at a DD. Then after sending my eel I try to go down to 100m and wait for the impact. If there's no BOOOOM at the given time I quickly change course to 90° port or starboard.
