That isn't as unlikely as you think. This incident made more than a few Admirals red in the face that they weren't aware of this sub: http://www.popularmechani

  Surely the exact submarine detection capabilities of a carrier group are a major military secret? It would be crazy to acknowledge a submarine that didn't announce itself even if you did or could have detected it.

    Exactly right. Why would we want to let the "enemy" know our capabilities? If they're not a threat, ignore it. There is a reason the Allies were careful in choosing to act on decrypted messages after they cracked the Enigma.

      Two bad we just had a major security breach with someone conversant with our latest technology.

  is this like playing hide and seek with your kid and pretending you didn't see him?

  The only people who know for sure aren't talking. You don't react to a sub the minute you discover it in peacetime. It gives away too much information about the quality of your sensors. They may have discovered it far from the fleet, or may have missed it, or anywhere in between. Also, during wartime fleets will be using active sonar. It's going to be a lot harder for subs to hide.
