@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. "
When can subs be used as fodder?

If you have a naval fleet, let’s include destroyers in your fleet, when can the subs take hits?
A. Only if attacker has destroyer present and planes can hit subs also?
B. Attacker has no destroyer and plane hits can’t hit subs only surface ships?

Hi LD
The wording of your question is a little confusing to me, but Subs can only be killed by planes if a Destroyer is present. -
@general-LD
“When attacking or defending, hits scored by air units cannot be assigned to submarines
unless there is a destroyer friendly to the air units in the battle.” (Rulebook, page 30)HTH :slightly_smiling_face:
