Nope... they don't. Until someone can prove that they DO, let me prove to you that they DON'T.
I had to sink 2 more escorts and, after 2 weeks raiding near Scapa Flow, I decided to risk it. I parked myself in deep water and waited. Soon I managed to get escort contacts on my hydros. But they were too fast to catch. We circled around eachother at 20 km or so. At this point I ran into a few merchants. I gunned them from a distance to allow them to call in for the warships. Nothing happened. Then aircraft started to buzz me. 2, 3, 4, 5, in total about 20 air patrols came right over me. I even fired at them with my aa gun. All the time I had those escorts sound lines on my nav map. 2 days later I got bored and made for scapa and sank a BB and 8 of it's escorts. They were 20 miles away, heading away from me, going at 5 knots.... so much for aircraft reporting position.
But the best example is my sinking of 2 aircraft cariers. Planes were all around me yet the task forces which were already in visual range didn't seem to care.
