The best tactic is just to keep your distance. 5 Nmi is pretty close, really. Go around them. There's no real reason to be that close.

A good yard stick for determining whether you're near or far from a target is your torpedo range. If you figure an ADCAP has an effective range of about 10Nmi in DW, then you're at 50% of that. By the standards of other boats, you're a little farther, but not much. You'd also be almost within range of a surface ship's torpedoes.
