I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Stuffy, at the risk of telling you something you don't know. Shipwrecks don't move. Many shipwrecks, curiously, are in very deep water and beyond the diving depth of submarines.

The mission is Detect, Deter, Destroy.

A submarine that is hiding isn't going anywhere and is effectively deterred.

There are lots of other technical details but I won't confuse you with further facts.
