Yea,  floating around in the ocean unmarked tends to make the skipper a little jumpy.   Expecially when your own planes are droping bombs on you.   Just look at the Dorado.   Hell Even the Batfish was almose bombed by a PBY in Cuba....

Well, there are often more aircraft contacts than ship contacts, and they take an insane amount of time to type up their overly-detailed tables.
