So how is it done? I've never played Dangerous Waters so maybe I am missing something here.

Well, we played the aggressor boat at times. We were a James Madison class boomer. In one exercise we got in close enough that you could zoom the scope in and read the CALL SIGNS ON THE AIRCRAFT that were on the carriers deck. Had pictures to prove it. They never knew we were there during the exercise.
We had an F-14 from my squadron once spot a periscope trailing the carrier TF...........ASW Tomcat!
Recently a chinese Kilo submarine surfaced near of an U.S carrier...:hmm:
this little submarine could be very quiet sometimes because donīt have any reactor or turbines.

Missiles are a good weapon against convoys, because you can decide the waypoints and when it can use the homing radar, making very difficult stop it in the last moment when you launch several of them. for example the russian "sunburn"
