I know I've failed detection once with a CVL. Was farming in 1-4 during one of the saury events and was rather surprised that the enemy fleet wasn't revealed and I didn't get an airstrike against them, but they managed one against me.

Detection is based on LoS, and that fleet you faced has rather low LoS - negative for both the New Fall and F33 formulaes. The reason why we always seem to get detection with CV(L)/CAV/BBV fleets is that they're usually stuffed full of planes (and ships) with are major contributors to LoS. We also don't know if detection is based on fleet LoS or eLoS and how much you need (as far as I know) - either way that fleets LoS isn't terribly high
