What amazes me about situations like this is, when your ship, even with radar, has difficulty observing these enemy DDs, yet the enemy has no problem finding your vessel. And yes, I have ran into this situation before myself . . . three destroyers ran aground into me and had me blowing my ballast every 30 minutes to keep afloat so they can hit me with their deck guns to have me see davy jones. But otherwise, good weather variants.
