Ever heard of the UK's mystery Q ships of World War I? Interesting psyops from over 100 years ago.
Regarding vulnerable submarines: "The mystery ships took full advantage of these vulnerabilities to lure the submarines into firstly firing one of their precious torpedoes, than encouraging them to surface by staging fake “panic parties” of men apparently trying to desperately flee the ship. This encouraged the subs to approach the ship at close range. Once the sub’s conning tower and deck presented a sure enough target, all concealment would be abandoned as the mystery ship revealed itself to be a warship in disguise, opening fire and then dropping depth charges as the submarine quickly attempted to submerge again. It was a task that took nerves of steel and a natural capacity for deception and disguise"
