In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is!

Sounds like you've been most fortunate and caused a magazine explosion

Can you set off torpedoes? That would blow a DD clean in half!!!

Not as far as I am aware....I don't think they were given damage zone files

When I managed to sink a destroyer with surprisingly few hits, it was usually from several kilometers away with plunging fire.

The really strange bit is that they sank with no fuss at all. No explosions, no breaking in half, no heavy tilting, no discernible noise.
Former submariners in charge of an ultra-efficient crew maybe?

'Crash Dive!'
'Aye aye, Sir!'
