Skhval has a range of just 6nm a nuclear blast 6nm infront of you would probably take your submarine down or do a lot of damage its main role was to hit carriers not submarines the idea behind the Skhval is fire it into or near the CVBG detonate and it takes most of the fleet with it armed with a 250Kt warhead it would have been easy.
great weapon alot of thought money and effort went into it and it was a succsess in the fact it was first deployed and tested openly by the russians and that the skhval has no comparison in the west, german is about 5 to 10 years away from a similar concept and the russians have already started work on the replacement product for Shkval.
