Yeah, I only plugged the hole for firing because that was what was 
bothering me at the time. I didn't bother fixing it for attacking 
as well.

I think it is important to fix because if a human player just had 
a transport full of troops sunk by a sub, and happened to have a 
few destroyers in the area, I can bet that he/she would exploit it 
if he/she knew about it. Vengeance knows no bounds.
