Water makes a wonderful insulator, RF noise doesn't propagate under water. Unless its a fairly loud audible sound or creates a large magnetic field a single lamp ballast would be invisible to any detector not within a few inches of the source. The ships generator is barely detectable by OUR guys.
Of course the 'black hats' may have come up with something that nobody knows about, remember they can see the printing on a matchbook cover on earth from an orbiting satellite.
