Yes to both. During wartime a sub is tracked much differently than peacetime, you know that. Especially inside of hostile territorial waters. The sub in the example given above having popped up next to a carrier, I suspect we had assets, not seen, that knew her exact location all the time.
Carrier or sub?

This was not in hostile waters. It was during a fleet exercise.

You 'suspect'? Having been on the 'underwater' side of exercises, I can say that it is a piece of cake for a submarine to sneak up on a carrier. The only defense the carrier has is it's speed.
