Check the positions of the DDs by hydrophone. With six of them around some often stop and wait - find them on the hydroscreen.
Head towards one of the sitting ducks and go to PD. The six DDs do some strange kind of ballet - they try to avoid collision and go forward and backward until they manage to pass. Go flank to attract all of them and pass under the sitting duck , then rig for silent at 1 knot and show your six to the pack. You may be lucky and cause some chaos - enough to make it away.
In my eyes the only 0.5% chance to get out there.
Heavy fog would be a friend too. Low visibility covers you to surface and run at insane speed. It saved my bucket the other day. Assuming you're in 1940 and the DDs have no RADAR.
I'd prepare Bernards once white t-shirt to wave - just in case...
