I sank a carrier by sneaking inside the protective ring of 10 DD's (I was like wtf?), this was a night attack, submerged, engines off. I fired a salvo of 4 from about 600m away. When they hit, the 5 DD's that were behind me starting using their searchlights to the outside of the ring and searched there, and obviously they never found me as I was on the inside (I snuck out of the gap they left on the rear). So apparantly they 'can' be confused about where the exact location of the attack came from...
