That was part of the Q ship project, started in 1915. A trawler, having a telepehone connection to a british sub, who was attacked requested help by the sub. It was only mildly successful, for example sinking U40 in june 1915. Q boats (with and mostly without subs helping them) were responsible for sinking 14 German U-boats and damaging 60 more. In addition to that one british sub was mistaken and sunk by friendly fire. 27 (out of about 200) Q-boats were destroyed by German U-boats.
More infos can be found on http://www.gwpda.org/naval/rnqships.htm or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-ship

In addition to that I can give you quite some construction plans of subs, mostly of the big U-Kreuzer class (U-Deutschland, U-139 and beyond), if you can use those. just send me a private message with your mail and I'll scan those plans once I find the time to.
