or my submarine need to be closed enough to this ships to make them engaging each other ?

I'm inclined to say yes they will. Every game unit is an autonomous unit unless it belongs to a group. But then again I'm also inclined to say they won't because they are out of rendering range
When units are out of rendering range a completely different set of routines are used to update all the game units (the MissionEngine.dll is responsible for this). I don't recall seeing anything in MissionEngine.dll responsible for combat - it mainly just updates unit's position. I never saw it call into SHSim.act (which is responsible for combat for the most part) so I would have to say that combat doesn't exist outside of the rendering range.
