@axis_roll:
I know a sub can not pass thru a SZ with a destroyer, but is the opposite true?
Can a DD move thru a SZ containing a sub?
Please answer for both combat and non-combat….however I think the answer will be the same for both.
Thanks!
Absolutely. ANY ship can pass into or through a zone with just subs, including transports. Applies to both combat (assuming those ships are involved in combat in a sz or amphib attack somewhere) and non-combat moves
And one clarification about subs moving into sz with destroyers. the sub can move into a sz with a destroyer in Non-combat without engaging the defending fleet. However they can not pass through.
@Official:
[Under [u]Special Combat Movement…Submarines]
Submarines are capable of moving undetected due to their ability to submerge. For this reason, they have special movement rules. A submarine may move through or into a sea zone containing enemy warships during either the Combat Move or Noncombat Move phase. Unlike other sea units, a submarine may end its noncombat movement in a hostile sea zone. However, if a submarine enters a sea zone containing an enemy destroyer, its movement ends immediately.
This ability of submarines to avoid detection also allows enemy ships to ignore their presence. Any sea zone that contains only enemy submarines does not stop the movement of a sea unit. Sea units ending their combat movement in a sea zone containing only enemy submarines may choose to attack them or not. Sea units may also end their noncombat movement in a sea zone containing only enemy submarines.
