Hi Zerradio,
Recon is king if you can pull it off before sending in troops for the kill.
If your sub still had some movement points left, you could have sent it south to reveal the CA and DD before moving the BB in to attack.
Also, it is better to recon with subs in silent mode, if you are able to. From the manual"
Silent mode allows Subs to pass through enemy naval formations and Convoy routes with a good chance of not being detected, but it reduces their normal speed to 2/3 and they cannot Cruise in this mode. Subs that are attacked while running in Silent mode, will have their potential losses reduced by 50%. They will also have the effectiveness of their defensive return fire reduced by 50%, with no hits possible against attacking aircraft. Note: Subs in Port that are in Silent Mode will not benefit from being in Silent Mode if attacked. Nor will they be hidden from enemy spotting like they would if at sea. However, if a Sub is attacked while in Port, the damage it receives is automatically halved. The Sub’s Silent mode represents movement beneath the surface where Subs can pass through any enemy units unless they end their move next to one, or they pass through a hex occupied by an enemy Destroyer. If they do encounter an enemy Destroyer while in Silent mode then they have a 50% chance of being discovered by that Destroyer. If they are discovered then their turn will immediately end with a Surprise Encounter.
There is also this: Naval units that have engaged in combat as a result of the surprise will have their remaining Action Points divided by 2. which can explain why your sub couldn't fire on the CV it bumped into.
