I’m watching a ton of WW2 documentaries and can’t help but think why they didn’t make a counter to the German Uboats other then depth charges and the hedgehog. Surely with the money and resources the US or other countries could of made a sub during that time.

Submarines weren’t effective in countering other submarines at the time.
The technologies needed were *almost* there, but not quite. It took just a few more years.
There was a single case of one submarine attacking and sinking a U-Boat, but it was a pretty unique set of circumstances that allowed them to do so.
Among other things, the advances in sonar and hydrophones weren’t quite there yet.
