What is the best way to sink a fast moving ship??

I came across a Southhampton class light crusier the other day, heading straight for me. They hadn't seen me so I dove down to PD and got into position, and waited. I did a 3 minute speed calc and she was flying along at 25 knots, with her top speed being 30.

I calculated the range, bearing and speed, but was unable to get a successfull AOB.....the damn thing was moving too fast for me to get an "accurate" AOB reading I found. End result, she was moving too fast and I couldn't get her, alas I let her slip away. I'd have never caught up with her surfaced anyway not with the speed she was clipping along at.

How do you guys do it?

Cheers,
