There was such a game long ago. Avalon Hill's
Submarine was a tactical board game that allowed you to control a submarine of one of the major powers of World War II. One player assumed the role of a submarine captain while other was an escort and/or convoy commander. The submarine location was kept secret and the sub player used written plots for movement and firing (torpedoes). The escort/convoy players also plotted their ships on the board. The game included rules for multiple players, various anti-submarine warfare systems, historical scenarios, night-fighting, and an abstract campaign game.
Still remember a hypothetical design-your-own scenario I created where a Allied convoy was attacked by a wolfpack consisting of U-Boats, Italian and Japanese subs. Good times.
