However we do have option to have submarine or destroyer working as a floating NDB. For example sub could be shadowing a convoy and guiding bombers to the convoy.

I'm off on holiday now but it's mentioned by Dr Alfred Price in "Last Year of the Luftwaffe" and by Capt Eric Brown DSO RN in "Wings of the Luftwaffe", where he shows the Schwan launching tube in the rear of the Kondor Fw-200. As he both flew the Kondor and shot two down he'll know his stuff
He also mentions the Kondor transmitting D/F signals itself that subs would home in on.
Can a DF beacon be placed on open water? So Mistels (for example) could track it like a Schwan on the way to Scotland.
