The wave action is called a following sea. The sea is actually pushing the ship from behind, causing a loss of control. There was one u-boat that lost it's watch crew, leaving the boat unprotected until the next watch came up to the bridge.
I have never heard of a submarine being lost due to a following sea. I too would like to know which ones this happened to.
