IIRC from what I readed in books about WW1 some time ago, the real objective of the towed hook was to try to desestabilize the submarine by lifting a part of it. That could be enough to make it lose trim and plunge to the bottom uncontrolled. Apparently this effect was caused also by close placed depth charges: If a part of the boat was lifted abruptly, it lost trim and went down. :hmmm:

Sounds like ideas that should work on paper, but probably never did in practice.

It's a movie.

Maybe they should include a Russian submarine captain with a Scottish accent, a dog that pisses all over the boat, destroyers that explode deck-first in enormous fireballs, a first officer that disagrees with everything you do, and a token black guy into SH5, too.

This.
