It's gotta be billions to one.
There are periods of time when even the top dogs don't know where these subs are, they know their patrol areas, but until the sub comes up to radio depth they don't have an exact fix on them.

When the subs come up they update their GPS positioning and target positioning.

Its important for their mission that they remain hidden from prying eyes.
