In that case, any hits scored by the fighters have to be assigned to the AC. The only units that can hit the subs are the cruisers and that is only if the subs decided not to submerge. Plus they would get their suprise strike. They can submerge because there is no enemy destroyer. Basically, destroyers are anti-sub units. Also, remember that hits scored by subs can never be assigned to aircraft.
Destroyer Rules question…
-
Can a destroyer and a transport ignore an enemy sub sitting on the coast when doing an amphib assault?
Thanks,

Yes

Even a lone transport can
In AA50, enemy subs and transports can be completely ignored, as long as you don’t engage any of them.
(If you attack a sub/transport combo with a fighter and also try to land there amphibiously, the sub can sink your transport. You can’t pick and choose what to ignore within a single zone)
