In real life, an ironclad captain wouldn't be able to see a sub that's
underwater -- that's the whole point of subs!  We already have that
ground units can't attack a bomber; this could be handled in much the
same way.

(There are several other irritants: diplomats can be used to trap a
bomber in, or keep a nuke out; phalanxes can damage a battleship;
nukes can land; ZOC makes no sense outside a shooting war; ...)
