I was heading flank speed when the destroyer mad a sharp turn in front of me and before I had time to react I rammed the destroyer (I believe it was a Hunt II class) near it bow on port side causing it to explode without taking any damage myself. It was obliterated!

You was definitely lucky,in another act the boat and crew (even You) could easily go to the bottom.Yes we have all some weird U-Boat story..but you survival, that is important..

Your right, I don't

I've sunk a couple of destroyers by ramming, myself.

Actually, it would be more correct to say they rammed me, and destroyed themselves. It usually takes out my conning tower, including both scopes and the radio.
