@general-LD Rulebook says:
"Submersible: A submarine has the option of submerging. It can do this anytime it would otherwise make a Surprise Strike (see below). The decision is made before any dice are rolled by either side (the attacker decides first) and takes effect immediately. When a submarine submerges, it’s immediately removed from the battle board and placed back on the map. As a result, it can no longer fire or take hits in that combat. "
Sub rules

question on the rules for attacking sunmarines. can battleships, cruisers and other subs attack submarines without a destroyer? or do you always need a destroyer to attack subs? i know a destroyer is required for planes to attack subs.

Surface warships can attack submarines without a destroyer present, however the defending submarine has the option to submerge before the attacker has had a chance to fire. Basically, the defender gets to decide if they want to participate in combat at that point.

and with a detroyer present, the sub cannot submerge. makes sense. thank you so much.
