Good point and interesting idea.
So the recon (hmmm PBY?) could "Mark" the CV somehow like a designator and the mobile spawnpoints would become active for maybe 30 minutes then disable unless "marked" again?

Something like that - pull the trigger on a recon ride and it takes a photo of the CV group if you are close enough (dar ring range?) - once a successful recon photo has been done, have a spawn point activate from the nearest port or GV base with water access to a point someplace in that sector (and yes, I kind of like the 30 minutes time frame myself). If the recon plane hangs around and takes another photo, have the spawn point update (which gives a purpose both to having the recon plane hang around, and for CV defenders to up and kill it).
Having PTs spawn in unknown and unexpected locations would provide for the 'surprise' factor that makes it possible for a small torpedo boat to attack a much larger vessel with success. As it is now, everybody can see on the map where the PTs will spawn from and the CV group commanders just avoid those points.
