Attacking Submarine Raiders

[Hoyt Burrass]

Apologies if this has been addressed before.

Is it possible for surface fleets to attack submarine raiders on convoy routes...and if so how. I move naval units adjacent but then get 'cannot move onto enemy hex' when I click on the raider. Could not find answer in forum or rules.

thanks in advance.

Naval units, including CVs, cannot attack submarines unless they (the submarines) are adjacent to a land hex or a beach hex. If they are surrounded by all-sea hexes, they are immune. However, patrol group and Cv in a certain range, wil add a small bonus to the escort in a convoy lane been raided. Land base air units can always attempt an attack however.
