Shallow water sucks when the weather is nice.

Of course it depends on how much you've invested in your career, too.

I don't trust the Mark 14's enough to try and take a shot at the DD. Plus they always seem to spot them and are able to turn away from the before the torps even have a chance. I've also never hit a DD unless it was a "down the throat" shot with anything other then the electric torp.
