I was approaching a convoy tonight guarded by two DDs (late 1939). I was getting good readings on the distant DD from my hydrophone operator, but the closer one wasn't showing up, even when I was at periscope depth and could see him clearly 4500 meters away (and bearing 290 degrees). I went deep and went silent, 0 knots, but he still found me and pinged me, even though I still wasn't getting hydrophone readings on his location.

I would try to sprint forward every time he made a DC pass to lose him, but he always reacquired me.

I got sunked. It stunk. I'm still trying to figure out this game.
