Placing a ground unit in strategic mode means it is in the optimal formation for rail and road movement or movement by a transport task force. Basically it's packing it's equipment onto boxcars or trucks for ground movement or onto pallets and crates for ship movement. They move more quickly by rail and road and also load more efficiently into ships when in strategic mode. While in this state they are very vulnerable to damage from ground and air attack. It is NOT the optimal formation for an amphibious task force. Units need to be in combat operations mode to be loaded on an amphibious task force for an amphibious invasion or sea movement. It's certainly not the optimal formation for ground combat either.

Is it safe to assume that sighting reports coming from naval searches are not 100% accurate and perhaps rather incorrect? I am assuming so as this was often the case in reality.I have fog of war on.

Yes. There are a good number of faulty or incomplete reports mixed in. You often get sighting reports for instance that state your patrol plane smacked the sub or ship they spotted with a bomb or depth charge. Sometimes they do, but more often they just reported a miss as a hit as optimistic pilots often did.
