Destroyers delay the removal of sub casualties, allowing them to fire back in their normal step even if they are hit by a sub. However, both attacking and defending subs always fire in the Opening Fire step, so a defending sub will return fire even if it is hit, regardless of the presence of destroyers. This is because fire within a step is simultaneous. In effect, the presence of a destroyer only affects the ability of surface vessels to return fire when hit by subs.
A sub question
-
for example
if i have a German sub which is submerged in a sea zone next to UK what can i do if UK builds a destroyer or sub and places it in these sea zonecan i move my sub normally , as nothing has happened or there is something more :-)?
thank you

Interesting question but I’m pretty sure that since a sub can’t go through a SZ with a destroyer in it i think you’re stuck but not positive
-
Yes, you can move it out of the zone during combat phase. If you don’t move it you will have to conduct combat.

Sankt is correct. The SUB may still chose to leave the SZ in COMBAT movement phase of their upcoming turn. However, if the SUB does not combat mvoe out, then Comabt will occur with the new fleet.
