Wouldn't a sub be able to survive a single hit?
Maybe, it depends. Certain subs might be able to sustain multiple hits, particularly large double hulled vessels. On the other hand, if a submarine is at the right depth and the right pipe breaks, a torpedo won't even have to penetrate the hull for the sub to sink. Modeling damage on submarines is kind of a squishy subject. In general, the assumption of a single hit putting a sub out of action is probably fairly good.
