The idea of using submarines for defense kinda whent out of style in the late 30's if not in WWI. Subs are best used by sending them on offensive patrols off hostile shores to sink enemy ships or strike at land targets. Trying to use them any other way "on defense" is just a waste of a submarine.
While the sub is the pefered weapon of the lesser naval power just using them to defend your own coast only leaves your country isolated.
The best defense is a good offense as they say.
