Default Cloaking and combat

I've read that you can't fight while cloaked. Under what circumstances will cloaked ships decloak to fight in a simultaneous game? Or do you have to give them a decloak order before they'll do any fighting at all?

Say I have a cloaked fleet sitting on a warp point, and some enemy ships approach, unaware (I hope) that my fleet is anywhere nearby. I understand that even if the enemy comes into that same sector to use the warp point, there won't be any combat unless they can see my ships, making my fleet pretty useless as warp point guards. But what if I decide to send my cloaked fleet a-hunting after some of those nearby enemies? Do I need to decloak my fleet first, or can I just send them to seek after the enemy and expect them to decloak upon contact?
