Hardly. You expect people to believe that you have a paddle powered boat outfitted with torpedoes? This winner is high and dry.
Just be sure to keep a safe distance and you'll be fine. There are worse things than losing. And that's not even my flagship.
You should be. Destroyer > Submarine. The only reason my battle group has destroyers is to counter your puny submarines. Otherwise, I would just be sailing with carriers and missile cruisers. B7, I sunk your battleship! I win!
Trouble is that I am to far away for your destroyer to do anything and my torpedos can easily reach you. I also carry missles.
