Unlike others, I don't have a problem with the irrealis of this 
sentence. The only issue I have is that, outside of context, I can't 
tell that it's about something that happened in the past. If that 
context were already established, then this sentence is fine.

They weren't incautious in order to cloak the ship. I might say this as 
{Hojbe'pu'mo' jonwI'chaj 'ej [vaj] Duj So'be'pu'mo'}. Or possibly, 
{Hojbe'pu'mo' jonwI'chaj Duj So'be'pu'. vaj Dujchaj luSampu' romuluSngan.}
