Uhm... actually H.M.S. Dreadnought did sink a submarine.
Now, it was a total fricking accident of nature, but it happened.

Well, she ram it.

It's counts. Ram a bloody submarine with battleship ... epic!

I think colision would be more correct term. Ram implies that it was on purpose.

Well wiki say that: Dreadnought cut the submarine in two after a short chase. So I think they want to ram it.

Ooops... My mistake
Or rather, a bad choice: After all, APDAF has a tendency of misunderstanding some things(No offence buddy, could happen to the best), and applying them in a maner never intended. So I simply left Dreadnought out.
But it was a lack of thinking on my parts, doubtlessly.
But she still wasn't made for that task!

All I said was I was going to add depth charges.

And we told you it doesn't make sense.
CDSs and battleships may have the speed, but they don't have the acceleration or manouverability to make use of them.

This is a bad idea - to put explosive charges on the deck of artillery ship . One accidental hit ... and the forces of Chaos will prevail over the adherents of the Emperor, mua-ha-ha!

The obvious problem:

1) The ship will not be able to use them due to low mobility

2) The charges will create a constant risk of destruction of the ship by accidental hit

3) The need to consider explosive limit firing at the stern

Oh, Dreadnought did intend to ram the sub.
The fact is that she wasn't actively hunting the submarine; the sub lost depth control after not compensating for a torpedo launch. Dreadnought was simply looking the right direction at the right time, and the sub magically appeared just off her bow. An accident caused by a diving officer's mistake caused the sub to broach, and Dreadnought took advantage of her high speed to catch the sub and ram her.
