Perhaps a very drastically reduced sensor capability with a 50+ nm range? That should make things interesting...

Well... ya know... there's nothing that says you CAN'T detect a submarine with an imaging sonar. "Hey... guys... I think I found the SSK they said was around here..." *taps on screen*

It's just that they typically can't see very far. :-)
