I'm sorry! You have failed your reading comprehension test. Better luck next time.
What I said was that airplanes "could easily sweep the area and
report the U-boat location when it surfaced."
Now
report is not the same as
attack and sink.
Report means to relay information to the rest of the HK Group.
