As far as I know, the submarines in game aren't much of a danger to you because SH3 does not simulate AI torpedoes.
The first was in a convoy in the Irish sea, the other in the Atlantic, west of the Bay of Biscay.

I was pretty sure it wasn't much of a risk to me. If torpedoes were simulated, I'd be killed all the time by those pesky MTBs and Elcos that sneak up on me all the time :P Correct me if I'm wrong, but they can't dive either, right? But do they have working sensors?
