besides what the rules say as just mentioend above, it is also specifically adressed in the appendix to the rules which you can find lots of links to here on this forum
Can a sub 'force' combat?
-
I understand that transports are totally transparent: they can always be ignored, even by other transports.
Are subs the same way?
I understand you can ignore a sub if you don’t want to do combat with it.Conversely, can a sub FORCE a navy to have to do battle if they want to stay in the same sea zone?
Would a destroyers presence make any difference? -
Enemy subs can be attacked or ignored at will by the acting player. The only effects that a destroyer has are to suppress subs special abilities and to allow air units to hit them.

‘sub’ stall is not a term we’ll be using in this game.
The only way to force combat or make a fleet stay is to drop a surface vessel. Most likely a DD.
thanks!
