No, but in my experience, and please correct me if i'm wrong, pinging destroyers mean that they suspect there's a snake in the grass, and are taking appropriate measures.

Which unfortunately means the convoy or TF they're escorting is taking evasive action (ziggzagging and increased speed) and your attack has been effectively foiled.
