Might I suggest you find a book on the USS Batfish? The submarine submarine killer! Three Japanese subs sunk in three nights. The accounts are hair raising as the dark night left only the radar to do the tracking and not visually seeing the sub until they were on top of it. Scaring stuff to be sure and definitely cat and mouse. I certainly would be filling my shorts if I were on that bridge knowing the enemy is just but a 1000 yards off and you do not know if he is setting up his torpedoes to do you in.
