It is needed to add to the realism.
Ships leave very big,very long wakes behind them when moving through the water.
Not to mention the that in most cases aircraft spotted a Uboats wake long before the Uboat which they then followed to the Uboat.
From above the wake of a ship is very distinct and stands out like a sore thumb on the water.
This is an image taken from the Space Shuttle of a Super Tanker doing 10knots and leaving a 40km long wake behind it..

Just an idea of what a plane would see from the air..notice the wake of the ship is quite easily spotted..
