I didn't get to see this actually happen. I had hit the destroyer in the rudder, which left the stern sitting on the bottom with the bow still a ways out of the water at about a 35 degree angle. The destroyer was still under power, but was only making about 3 knots. As you can see, it wasn't able to get out of way in time. Apparantly the merchant augered the destroyer straight into the sea bed, causing it to lock into a perfectly vertical position. 10 hours later it was still sitting there in the exact same position. I got credit for both killing a destroyer and putting a new landmark off of Aparri.

I like how this image turned out.
