Destroyer sinks its self

I was just wondering if any of you have ever watched one of the Japanese destroyers sink its self. I was Attacking a Convoy and as my normal I attack the Destroyers first. In the Confusion that preceded the first Destroyer going up the ships began to scatter. As one Cargo ship crossed the path of a Destroyer that was laying some depth charges the Destroyer had to stop, Well I was at Parascope depth so they were setting them off shallow. I watched that Destroyer light its own Fan Tail off like a roman candle. It sat there for a while and went down tail first.
