Warship torpedo evasion?

As on a previous post and a bit of a dicey maneuver: Attack the destroyer HEADON (throat shot) with a high set speed steamer set at one meter depth at a range of approx. 700 yards; the high speed of the eel offsets the destroyer's closing speed against the eels arming distance of 300 meters. IF IT MISSES, revert to riverboat gambler(icy cool) mode: go to 20 meters at full speed to pass under the destroyer, with scope (slightly lowered) still viewing. His depth charges at full tilt speed should miss as too deep or not close enough. As he passes astern, rise quickly back to periscope depth and take him with a rear tube. If that misses, dive but do not crash(save your air) to the 'basement' to run silent; seat yourself between the jumbos in the engine room on the communal B-spülverKann and prepare to have your 'lily guilded'. The U-boot's copy of Mein Kampf will help pass the time and focus your thoughts on your sacrifice to the fatherland!

It actually works...most of the time!
