Submarines do not operate in isolation because aircraft can search broad areas quickly and deploy many sonobuoys. A carrier group's fighters can keep hostile maritime-patrol aircraft away, reducing one of the principal threats to friendly submarines. Friendly submarines in turn make the same waters dangerous for opposing submarines. Carriers and submarines therefore work as complementary capabilities within the same operating area.

Carrier aircraft can suppress enemy maritime patrols while friendly submarines make the same waters hazardous for opposing boats.
