Best Answer

ww2 submarines usually tried to hunt down and destroy enemy subs, sink high value ships like aircraft carriers or attack trading/commercial ships.

ADDED: The Allied navies' submarines were generally used against enemy warships. The main target of the Nazi U-boats was the merchant-shipping convoys on the Atlantic, though others certainly did roam further to attack naval vessels. One U-boat even managed to sink a ship within the St. Lawrence Seaway, but they normally patrolled much further out.
