Load up an FF-Y with Depth Charge racks both rear and sides, with a pop gun on top; put a decent Sonarman on and go sub hunting. It takes skill to approach subs, drop DCs, speed off to avoid splash damage (lose sonar), and come back for more if you didn't finish him off. Not an easy task, but very rewarding as game play goes. HH and PHH are fine for CL setups, but DCs on an FF or DD can put subs away quickly. Nation-based Depth charges are more powerful than neutral DCs, so running a high-end DD has advantages too.
I put together an RM Capitani Romani CL with combo AA/HE 6" guns, and HH launchers with a scout and mid-level sonarman. I can take down planes, provide sonar coverage for my BBs and fend off pesky intruders. I can launch and maneuver my scout, dropping mines and supporting my BBs. It's a mid-level ship providing critical support.
It's easy and fun. Not all games should be played with maximum exp attainment as the goal.
