You just don't run into a 769 ton piece of metal at 36 knots and expect your destroyer to stay healthy afterwards. This happens every time if you let it close to you. It just simply runs over you.

And it doesnt bump into your ship by accident either, the damn destroyer is aiming at you from 7000 metres away, and it runs over you.

It seems like the destroyer is assuming im underwater and thinks it can do that when im actually surfaced.
There are several reports about destroyers or even merchant ships ramming intentionally onto U-boats. Some of these unortodox attacks ended with the sinking of the boat.

See here for some more detail on the subject:
