Normally, aerial reconnaissance would pick out their locations in the water (they rarely dove deep, so they could be spotted from the air), and then bombers would be dispatched to bombard them once they resurfaced for air.

U-Boats were also destroyed when they ran aground or were caught in submarine nets - which were little more than steel mesh that was draped around US coast lines that served to tangle up the subs if they attempted to enter a harbor.
