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.

they did . UK had dozens of submarines but they were worse than the damage enemy gave . many of them collided into each other . others leaked , some caught fire . some just sank on their own .
the technology was not yet there for the UK /USA camp .
Because Destroyers and frigates were already better at countering submarines than another submarine ever would be especially with that level of technology.
The only advantage going underwater gives a World War II submarine is stealth. It’s slow. It’s dangerous. They can only do it for a limited time.
Being able to dive underwater would do nothing to help an Allied submarine find or hunt a German one.
