Why didn't the Newland submarine attack the Forty-first Special Mixed Fleet?
Furthermore, has the identity of the Forty-first Special Mixed Fleet been confirmed, or was it merely detected via suspected noise from a large carrier?
Regarding the first question, Bai Huawei finds it understandable.
Relying on passive sonar, especially the advanced towed array sonar, and making full use of the convergence zones of the seabed sound channels, submarines can discover groups of battleships hundreds or even several hundred kilometers away. Although it's difficult to precisely locate the noise with passive sonar, if the signal is obtained through the convergence zones of the seabed sound channels, it's impossible to accurately determine the actual distance to the noise. However, for submarines on reconnaissance missions, the main task is to discover the carrier, not to pinpoint its exact location.
As for ambushing a carrier, it's even more of a fortuitous encounter.
