And a spanish fishing boat pick a unidentified submarine in the net in the atlantic some years ago.
they have to cut the net to free the boat , wich was towed by the submarine

OTAN denied all implication in the affair, so probably was a russian nuke submarine.

perhaps a net with explosives can be a good way to destroy u-boats....

I saw that movie it was kind of weird in my opinion the best part of that movie is when the Benny Goodman starts playing if I was Lt.Brice I wouldn't have broken the reacord.

...Benny Goodman is awsome...

In WWI they used 'sweeps' and 'paravanes', essentially contact mines on long cables, that had vanes that kept them spread out on both sides of the ship. The theory was that you deploy these when there is a u-boat about, and try and snag it. Once the cable hits the submerged u-boat, the forward motion of the attacking surface ship pulls the mine into the sub.

They had some success, but were phased out and replaced by depth charges, I'm guessing because they were only effective against subs at or near periscope depth.
