Submerged Type VIIc uboat displaces almost 1000 tons. British 'J' class destroyer displaces 1690 tons. Destroyer hooks uboat while it's diving:
1) Hook snags outer hull of uboat and rips a hole that really won't affect the boat other than slowing it down a bit due to the jagged edges.
2) Hook snags something solid and destroyer suddenly finds itself attached to 1000 rapidly sinking tons. Kind of like deep-sea fishing and snagging a whale.
