This hit got her in the bunkers, set off the massive explosion expected of a loaded tanker. The DD was close enough off her port side caught her stern on fire, which then caused her stern, loaded down with depth charges to explode.

DD fired off star shells and slowed, fire spreading as Haddo sped into the night. About five minutes later, the DD had a large fire burning stern and amidships when BOOM. Massive explosion, followed by several more. DD sunk by the stern 11 minutes later.

yeah, i've seen the collateral damage thing, although the DD in my experience(s) exploded and went down in a hurry.
see, the thing is, you (we) were attacked and you (we) counterattacked and even though your shot did not hit the DD, it hit something else which blew up and that, in turn, blew up the DD. we should get credit for that.
