Next time the DD makes a run on you slam the rudder to port or starbord, hit all ahead flank and try to adjust your course. After a few minutes, center the rudder and set speed for about 3 knots.

When the DD is on his run (ahead flank, dropping cans) hes deaf as a post, this may be your only oppurtnity to escape.

Good thing you can magically step outside the sub and look around, too.

Yes, that is deep. We will just chalk it up to a hurricane that dragged it out sea.

Now, just imagine the cable scraping down the side of your sub as you slink by at 1 knot.

Tell me the sailors did not break out in a cold sweat.
