My better question, then, is.

1) Do they always spawn from carriers?

2) How far away can they spawn?

I'd be tempted to take a bearing on the reciprocal of their approach and go find me a big fat carrier.

The chance is worth a look.

1) I believe so but not 100% certain.

2) Within the limit of their operational radius....check the figures in the museum for example.
