In game they could spawn planes after spotting a boat . If we only had a mesh for one.. sigh.
That's precisely what they did, though they worked more as a latent threat of support than actual spotting. Speed made a big difference, thus most U-boats submerged before being seen by dirigible crews.

The only known (by me) deliberate attack on a submarine by an airship happened in the Caribbean in 1943. The airship came roaring in at the blinding speed of about 40mph and was promptly shot down.
