Ever since the ocean was invented, naval combat vessels have focused on staying above the water. While some may claim this excludes submarines, this in fact accounts for the fact a submarine is not a naval combat vessel, it is a torpedo-storage container full of gay men.
However, recent trends in russian naval tactics have seen their black sea fleet deploying under the ocean, using its depths to hide like the fragile and majestic octopus. Deep ocean ship deployments have been increasing over the parts few years, and offer a benefit of excellent cover, stable positioning, and - bonus - resupply needs greatly reduce as well.
Naval aviators tend to hate the ocean, because it is not the air, but as navies redeploy their fleets underwater (there are rumors india and pakistan may soon experiment with this technology), the only answer is deploy air assets to watch them.
