Well, it wasn't uncommon for an IJN DD to start throwing DC's in an ever widening area after losing contact. If this tactic worked occasionally you won't know because the real sub wouldn't have anyone left to talk about it. You only hear from the ones that returned because the DD skipper guessed wrong.
