Air Attack on Naval Vessels .....?

Sub interdicted a fleet leaving port? I didn't think that is possible under the current rules.

It is not. The interception rules were created this way in Beta. Give the Beta testers a lot of the credit here. They presented the requirement for it and how much it would improve the game. We talked about it and the current solution is elegant and easy.

As is almost every naval battle took place near a coast. That I can think of only the hunting of the Bismarck took place in open sea and that took 1/2 the British navy.

As is I do not see any non-exploitative way to do interception along the way.

I think the current system is pretty decent for ETO.

But I wonder...

If subs had shorter range?

If fleets could be intercepted from their start point?

Evacuations...
A Dunkirk situation will almost always result in the unit surviving an evacuation (without escort) provided the receiving port is far away (out of enemy air range) regardless of overwhelming enemy air presence.
