ESP and damage to destroyers

[UnSalted]

Ever scared a destroyer to death? I was trying to sneak into position for a photo this evening and was about 1/2 mile from getting to just the right spot when a destroyer spotted me. Anyway I was at 200 feet so the first DCs didn't do much damage except the deck/AA guns. He went off for a little quiet time and we sat each other out before he starts back uo and heads back straight for me. So I waited until he was a couple of hundred yards from crossing over me and hit the gas to get a little seperation at least.

I took a peak at the camera view to see if he was going to use a few rear end roll offs or his launchers too and shazzam, one side of the ship blossomed into a fireball and it started slowing. I got to watch a Japanese destroyer burn up and nosedive for the bottom from what could only have been a malfunction in a DC on a launcher.

Yeah I'm bad but I doubt if my maneuvering scared him to death so the question is...are accidents such as DC explosions programmed into their ships as well as our subs or is my copy of SHIV haunted? Anybody else seen one destroyed with no obvious actions involved other than Allied aircraft in the area?
