She be fine, that's a submarine, a destroyer prey.
But considering that that so-class snuck up on Bucky it's probably the representation of the USS Harder who known to sink destroyers... ... ... I take it back.
A few US sub captains got it in their heads to go after destroyers directly. Due to the low quality of IJN ASW tech and doctrine, the tactic wasn't that crazy... but Trigger was definitely crazy.

"A few US sub captains" would be the "the entire submarine command".
The US realized that the Japanese didn't have enough transports to cover their needs, nor the capacity to make more even at the outset of the war, and were using destroyers in "Tokyo Express" supply runs in a desperate attempt to bridge the gap. As such, IJN destroyers went alongside transports as top priority targets as ordered by high command. It was just "a few US sub captains" that went after bigger game, like the USS Cavalla going for the Kongou.
And yes, thanks to poor Japanese ASW, the US Pacific submarine war was the most successful submarine warfare in history. The subs sank a third of the IJN's destroyers, and a slightly greater portion of the merchant marine.

Though I didn't get my point across very well, I was referring to instances where they fired down-the-throat shots at onrushing destroyers instead of diving for safety.
