Why did the Royal Navy not use any German subs captured during Operation Deadlight?

Operation Deadlight was the scuttling in deep waters of most of the German subs. So a LOT of German subs were used there to be sunk. The Navy did retain a number and used most of them for target practice later on. Some lived on to be museum ships. But the sheer number of the German subs captured meant scuttling was the only option: the Allies were already waist-deep in surplus ships and subs themselves and many of those were scuttled or scrapped as well.
