How about RN Admiral Woodward's story about how he 'sank' a US CVN (cited in his Falklands memoir)? On a 1970s exercise in the Indian Ocean, his DD was supposed to be the target for a CVBG. At night, his ship rigged all the lights possible, and had the radio crew pretend to be an Indian cruise ship every time a plane flew over. At dawn, they were in antiship missile range of the carrier.
