Browse through web sites of WWII subs, many of them have all the war patrol reports for that particular sub. For example, the Batfish's website is where I got my sig from: http://www.ussbatfish.com/batfish-main.html. A few years ago when I was way into SHI I think I spent a sleepless night reading as many war patrol reports as I could find. It's fascinating reading actual play by plays of real WWII sub's Pacific War patrols.

There is an RDF sensor in the game's data files. Should be pretty easy to test, just sit off the coast of Japan and send repeated messages.
