Naturally any model / comparison breaks down at some point. But I think
(and I'm no military expert by any means) the basic idea behind the
comparison is valid. Simplistically, subs can hide, surface ships
can't; sometimes subs can be detected. Cloaked ships can hide;
sometimes they can be detected (e.g. uncloaking in order to fire).
