IIRC they can be disabled through option editor
hmm, I don't think that is exactly like that, gap.

If you look closely, it comes in in red colloring when it does apply to you (it even works on friendly ships).

And I noticed generally if you are hunting for enemy ships and they spot you and you get that message - they do act as they spotted you. I think it is an actual spot, which TDW made into a radio message from this ships that you MIGHT have a chance of intercept.

The greyed-background messages of subs spotted are indeed random though.
