I just realized. If the AI can see all the units on the map, doesn't that mean they can see your submarines as well?

Sounds like a safe bet that they can see them. But, I never build them anyway, I think they're very underpowered.

nope, i've tested this.
I laid some nuke subs around 4 english subs & saved the game.
Next turn I declared war on them (by attacking a battleship) & they sunk all SIX of my subs with battleships.
So I reloaded & declared war by sinking the ageis cruiser & they couldn't do anything.

And you take satisfaction in cheating your way to "victory"?? 
Yes, I know the AI cheats too much.
Submarines and privateers are both understrength for the purpose of attacking surface warships. But in the REAL world (not Sid's) subs and privateers attacked not warships but merchantmen - but that is not reflected in the game system. This is one of the major problems with the game (others are corruption, flipping, and all the bugs, et al).
BTW, I never heard of a battleship sinking a sub in all History.
