Not totally far fetched as some might think.
Back in the 1980s a Soviet Victor snagged a US Destroyer's towed array and got it wrapped around its prop. The Victor was disabled and forced to surface. They had to send a guy with an ax out on the aft deck to hack it off the screw before they could get underway again.
