Hence my question...does the AI "know" where to begin their search even if they have not detected me yet?

Good point. I like to test things with the 'Happy Times' Single Mission, and I've noticed that the DD's tend to "accidentally" follow me everywhere. They won't necessarily have my exact location, and they may be dropping their depth charges a few hundred meters off target, but if I change direction they sort of 'by chance' wander in the same direction I do.

If they hear me then at least some of them should drop right on my spot, but even if they're consistently wrong, they stay wrong in my general vicinity.

I know that's not exactly what you're talking about, but it is another questionable phenomenon.
