Do you guys ever get this problem? I am trying to target an enemy sub that was created but it was never moved, so its just sitting at the naval base where it spawned. I cannot attack it with anything. ive tried subs and destroyers. but while it will target with the attack button, no unit will move to it and engage. I decided it must be a ghost sub, so moved a convoy on thru to its destination. the sub and the convoy did engage, but the sub did no damage to my convoy (the little shield DID appear over both units, and it said my convoy was attacking the sub), but my convoy was not held up and successfully disembarked. This is not the first time a sub hiding in port has behaved similarly. It seems that there is a bug here.

I have never encountered that, but I wonder if it is related to the fact that you can't land planes on an aircraft carrier until it is moved out to the ocean. The naval base must be a place that is neither land nor ocean.
Are surface ships actually active while still in "drydock" for attacking or defending?

Yep I know what you're talking about. Thing is, smart Call of War can't make the difference between your submarine trying to attack the ennemy sub marine, and trying to land on the freaking port.
This is why it will not give you the possibility. So except for mm precise aiming of your mouse, you are condemned to wait for him to go away.

i did finally manage to target him. once my convoy landed and took the province, i marched 18 submarines as close as i could to the port and the attack finally triggered

To move units to unruly targets, in most cases it helps to hold the Strg / Ctrl key.
But, that the sub didn't really fight is certainly a negligence in the programming -- or it is still missing the crew or the torpedoes...
