I actually killed the sub, but I did not follow the method that the 
manual describes.  I outfitted a helicopter for LR Anti-sub, and placed
it to the far left of the convoy group (using the Launch Aircraft, not
the Formation Editor).  Unfortunately it launched three fish and killed
my remaining ships before I could get it killed.

I played the same scenerio as the Russian.  I absolutely wasted the
NATO surface group with the fighters and the sub.  I then took my
gunboats and destroyed 83% of the port that the convey was going too!
