Go to flank as soon as you fire and get as deep as possible before the DD's arrive overhead. Don't worry about noise at this point as depth is your friend. Ideally, you should drop speed to ahead slow and rig for silent running just before they reach effective weapon range.

The next step is to alter your course (hopefully) just before they release charges. Or, if it's too late for that, take advantage of their temporary 'deafness' and break sharply at flank. Once you slip away from the initial bombardment, resume silent running and try to keep either your bow or stern aimed toward the destroyer as much as possible to reduce your sonar profile and hopefully make it tougher for them to reacquire.

Good luck!
