I know if they are from a carrier, the carrier could be 300-400km away, easily, but just wondering if the Swordfish is proof positive of a carrier out there or not.

My feeling is this is the game's way of telling you there is a carrier near you. You would almost always get an RWR warning if you are that late in the war that you have one.
